Last year, Hong Kong filmmaker Herman Yau directed at least two of the best action movies of the year. In the 1990s, Yau (“Ebola Syndrome,” “The Untold Story”) helmed sensational black comedies and/or true-crime thrillers about psychopathic skid row loners, some of which are now finding new audiences on American Blu-ray boutique labels. Jacky Cheung makes a big screen comeback after seven MIA years looking, well, kinda bonkers. Plot-wise, Hong Kong's port is being used as an illegal arms smuggling hub and the maritime authorities scramble to nail the elusive English-speaking foreign perpetrators and flush out the traitorous inside man within their ranks. Village chief Long Juanfeng has three daughters, all in different stages of romance. Eldest daughter, Xiao Dong (Samantha Ko), falls in love with scientist Ma Zhuang (Kenneth Ma). Cheung’s last lead role was eight years ago, as a disgraced pastor in the drama film Heaven In The Dark (2016). It earned him a Golden Horse Award nomination for Best Leading Actor.
