Theft Under the Sun
 

Director: Cha Cheun-yee
Year: 1997
Rating: 6.0

It is good to see Michael Wong play a bad guy, but even as a bad guy he is pretty nice. In this movie a young undercover cop Cheung Chi Lam has infiltrated Wong’s gang , but when the police raid goes wrong Wong escapes. CCL’s supervisors are suspicious that he may have betrayed them and so suspend him.

During his suspension, he accidentally meets and joins up with Wong again. Wong treats him with more respect and friendship than do his fellow cops - so which side will he really be on ? Gigi Lai stars as CCL’s trashy girlfriend - but she does look quite fetching in her hotpants. Some decent action and far flung vistas as they go off to Mongolia to transact some business. A pretty feeble and unbelievable ending does not help this film. All in all a very so-so film.
