Drug War
Directed by Johnnie To
Manufacturing just fifty grams of meth in China will earn you a death sentence. Timmy Choi (Louis Koo) has manufactured tons. After a violent lab accident, he's in the custody of Captain Zhang (Sun Honglei). Now, he has only one chance to avoid execution: turn informant and help Zhang’s undercover team take down the powerful cartel he’s been cooking for. But as the uneasy allies rush to execute a months-long operation in just a few days, the increasingly desperate police are quickly stretched past their limits. As things spin wildly out of control, the line between duty and recklessness is blurred, and it becomes unclear whether Zhang or Choi actually has the upper hand.
A dealer turns informant in action master Johnnie To's explosive crime story.
Cast: Louis Koo, Sun Honglei, Huang Yi, Li Jing

While not a horror movie, it was worth seeing. I enjoyed this movie. I can see that Chinese like to laugh. Also death sentences are carried out quickly....
Prefer the films of master director Johnny Fyv.
Shudder, how is this movie horror?
Quite striaght forward but excellently executed. Tense moments and good action.
