Herman Yau returns with a financial thriller. As one of the final Hong Kong hold-outs, it's a little disappointing to see him making films in China (and in line with regular Chinese blockbuster formulas), then again, I'm always happy to give the latest Yau a fair shot. And truth be told, it was nice seeing Andy Lau again, too.
The film itself is a slick thriller, but it's pretty predictable, with a young man being overwhelmed by the cut-throat industry he enters as a college graduate. The performances are solid, the presentation is lush, but two hours is a bit too long, and the drama doesn't always land. Not Yau's best, but it kept me entertained.
