Jiang Hu (Hong Kong gangster movie)

[editman]

The title is direct-translation from Mandarin, kind of means 'Underworld'. (No, not vampire-or-wolfman-related)

Starring: Andy Lau (Infernal Affairs), Jacky Cheung (Ashes of Time, Days of Being Wild), Edison Chen, Shawn Yue (Infernal Affairs II)

IMDB hasn't got any info on this film yet, so I don't know who the director is.

Loose translation of Teaser:
[00:23] Someone's hired an assassin* to kill you, Chau**...
[00:26] It's easy to find out who if it's someone we know...
[00:29] ... And they said it's be within the next 2 days
[00:31] ... but it'll be difficult if it's some nobody punk.
[00:35] Relax, Chau. We're working on it...
[00:38] ... let's see which punk can get to you.
[00:41] I don't wanna know who'll do it. I wanna know who's behind this.

*by 'assassin' it probably means someone who's willing die to complete the mission, rather than 'The Killer'-type assassin.
**name of Andy Lau's character
