Plot |
|
Cheng is crafting a fallibly human, low-ranking police detective who hails from the Walled City of Kowloon. Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, but with failing health, her character must battle criminals, her supervisors, and a gambling addiction. Cheng’s character is hard but brittle, and loses composure when required to cooperate on a case with a polished ICAC officer (May Lo). Each fools the other by pretending to be what they are not, betraying their stereotyped views of the other’s role. Cheng’s comedy and wordplay – she quickly switches to English when explaining she was really saying “poor guy” – is quite faithfully rendered in unusually good subtitling. After several solid initial action sequences, Cheng’s and Lo’s characters are sent undercover as a nun and recovering addict, respectively, to an island retreat run by a former triad turned evangelist.
