Hong Kong wind sweep black classic reproduction
The forces of good and evil are in a narrow struggle
Returning to the classic theme of Hong Kong style, the film begins with the bizarre death of the only daughter of the richest man in the city, and barrister Lei Youhui (Fang Zhongxin) is determined to assist newcomer lawyer He Xueming (Chen Jiale) to clear the grievances of Li Yifeng (Wong Ding Qian), who is accused of first-degree murder. By showing barrister Lei Youhui's stripping away of the case, and in the process of investigation and evidence collection, because of touching the interests of the political clique, encountering multiple difficulties such as witness confessions, evidence destruction, and the murder of colleagues, the film expresses the theme of "in order to restore the truth of the facts, we will not hesitate to confront the powerful" in the course of the trial and the process of leading out the real murderer to achieve a Jedi counterattack.
Fang Zhongxin as barrister Lei Youhui.
As a drama that integrates various elements such as legal affairs, crime, anti-corruption, and anti-gang crime, the film portrays the flesh-and-blood, full-bodied and three-dimensional image of Hong Kong elites, rich people, powerful people and civilians, depicting the political and business shady scenes under the collusion of power and money with a tense and ups and downs plot setting, highlighting the struggle between justice and power and money. At the same time, through the role of Lei Youhui, a lawyer with a complex personality and excellent defense means, he also digs deep into the profession of lawyers, so that everyone can face the torture of morality, law and faith: Is the law just a tool for making money or faith? Does a good lawyer want to piece together a story that works in his client's favor, or does he want to pursue the truth? Provoking.
The old drama bone Bao Qi Jing helped.

Chen Kangli, a rival prosecution lawyer with a comparable strength, is played by Tan Yaowen, a famous actor who won the "Golden Film Award" and the "Golden Horse Award" consecutively with "The Pupil of the Beast" and "Beast Police", and the two films are tit-for-tat but feel sorry for each other. Chen Jiale, a new young actor who has participated in high-quality film and television works such as "Big City Little Love", "Breaking the Wind", and "Reverse Edge", starred in the film as a hot-blooded newcomer lawyer who has repeatedly lost lawsuits but never yielded; while Bao Qijing, a famous actor at the Hong Kong Academy Awards, played the role of Zhu Mama, who was desperately running to save her grandson who was unjustly imprisoned. At the same time, Zhang Songzhi, Luo Yingjun, Chen Baoyuan, Liao Bi'er and other very familiar Hong Kong actors have all made wonderful appearances in the film.
Tam Yiu Man starred as lawyer Chen Kangli.
It is worth mentioning that there are two heavyweights in the cast, one is zeng jiang, who has won the throne of hong Kong film emperors, starred in and participated in countless films, and is known as the "all-round actor" of the Hong Kong film industry, zeng jiang, who has starred in the 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", "The Death Knife" and "The Soul of the Jade Girl", and this time played the big villain Zeng Guoshan in the film; the other is Liao Qizhi, a Powerful Actor of Hong Kong who partnered with Fang Zhongxin after "Legal Strongman", who was nominated for the Academy Awards six times. And twice won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, has brought the audience countless familiar works, such as "Shanghai Beach", "Infernal Affairs 2", "Informant" and so on. This time, Liao Qizhi plays a rich man who has lost his beloved daughter in the film, although his performance does not have a large length, but each scene makes people deeply feel his struggle as a father: is it to hold on to power, or to seek justice for his daughter? This father figure is unforgettable. It is a pity that before the film was released in the mainland, Uncle Zhi passed away on March 28, 2021, and we will always remember Uncle Zhi in our hearts.
Uncle Zhi, who has left us, plays a father in the film.
