Big Bullet

After his short-fuse temper gets him into trouble once too often, Sgt. Bill Chu finds himself demoted to the Emergency Unit squad of beat cops, where he must command a mismatched group of subordinates.

However, Chu doesn’t let his team’s perceived limitations prevent him from taking them into direct combat with psychotic criminals who have pulled a multimillion-dollar robbery at Interpol headquarters.

Big Bullet is filled with the sort of spectacular gunplay, crisply staged chase sequences and hair-raising suspense that brought the former British colony’s cinema international attention.

Amidst all of the well-choreographed and fast-paced chaos, it also displays a human center, thanks to a fine cast headlined by revered character actor Lau Ching-Wan, who shines as the hard-nosed, determined hero who won’t let the system or a pair of brazen opponents stop him from putting an end to the mayhem.
