Product Description

Product Description

Manufacturing just 50 grams of meth in China will earn you a death sentence. Timmy Choi (Louis Koo) just got caught making tons. Now he's in the custody of Captain Zhang (Sun Honglei), and has one chance to avoid execution - turn informant and help the cops bring down the powerful cartel he's been cooking for. Over the next 72 sleepless hours, the sting spins out of control, the line between duty and recklessness is blurred, and it becomes unclear who actually has the upper hand. From Johnnie To, master of the Hong Kong crime thriller, comes an unnerving thrill ride through the modern criminal underworld.

Review

"...masterfully made, high-octane entertainment" --Twitch

"...a nail-biter...edge-of-your-seat material --Variety

"...gritty, uncompromising and hugely exhilarating" --Screen International

    Unless you are satisfied with comic book social-justice-warrior superheroes, endless re-makes of former classics or tiresome life stories of conflicted guilt ridden suburbanites you are probably going to have to go global when searching for movies to entertain yourself in 2019... and beyond.

    DRUG WAR is directed by the legendary Johnnie To. Check out his resume online as a director or producer if you are interested in films with original ideas that are brilliantly executed.

    This particular movie, DRUG WAR is a smart, well written, beautifully acted and filmed action thriller with a violent and surprising climax. This is the kind of movie that Hollywood is unfortunately no longer capable of manufacturing and presenting to its audience. The closest movie from Hollywood that might be compared to this flick would be SICARIO I think. Unfortunately even that worthy film probably could not be made today by a mainstream Hollywood infected with political correctness.

    This is one of Johnnie To's latest gritty Hong Kong dramas. It exudes the classic genre of HK action films but brings in a new layer of sophistication and modern reality. I have been watching his (Johnnie To) movies for a long time and he seems to surprise me once again. It is a little violent and has mature themes but they serve a purpose, to keep the plot moving along nicely. I recommend this film if you are a HK movie buff or if you are as tired of Hollywood predictability that plagues the US film industry as I am.

    The actress and actors are top notch. The endings has left me to ponder about the cruelty of drug trafficking. but above all, man is willing to risk everything to be alive.

    Looks like a good movie. Unfortunately, English subtitles do not seem to be available.

    A realist approach with super actors. The ending is great because that is in fact the reality of drug war everywhere -- no one wins.

    The movie was okay, but could have been better because it long, and drawn out. The entire movie was in a foreign language with English sub titles at the bottom. It was very slow throughout most of the movie, then it picked up. There was plenty of action, but you kind of lost interest as to what the storyline was. I would not recommend it unless someone had the movie and you borrowed it from them.

    Oh my goodness best ever international psychilogical thriller movie I've ever seen. Although subtitled after you watch it over again you'll love it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Eiskalt wie Fürst Pückler:
    Reviewed in Germany on May 2, 2020
    Zwar bin ich unrettbarer Fan der alten Eastern, die in den verrotteten Bahnhofkinos flimmerten und Titel hatten, die allein schon Lachsalven verursachten, aber diese Zeiten sind lange vorbei und auch vor Bob Dylan wusste man doch:“The Times they are a-changing...“!
    Hier haben wir nun einen knallharten,radikalen Drogenthriller, der Bullen wie Dealern und auch dem Zuschauer keinerlei Illusionen mehr überlässt. Katastrophale Lebensumstände fördern eine kriminelle Parallelgesellschaft mit ihren eigenen gnadenlosen Regeln und wenn diese beiden “Welten“ kollidieren, ist buchstäblich die Hölle los. Und genau da landen sie auch letztendlich ALLE, denn die Grenzen zwischen Gut & Böse sind längst verkommen; es gibt keine Helden oder Ganoven mehr, nur noch Abschaum, der nur noch die eigene Existenz als lebenswerten Zustand preist und dafür über Leichen geht, Hauptsache, die eigene ist nicht dabei.
    Kälter und nihilistischer geht's kaum noch, aber genau da ist der Punkt erreicht, wo dieser herbe Thriller fasziniert: Die EINZIGE logische Konsequenz des menschlichen (Fehl-)Verhaltens ist der Tod!

    Encore une excellente réalisation de Johnnie To ! J'ai adoré ce film, le scénario est excellent, les acteurs exceptionnels surtout Sun Honglei que j'ai trouvé charismatique dans son rôle de capitaine de police ! Je recommande ce film pour ceux qui aiment les films HK.
