The Scoundrels

狂徒

Promising basketball star Wen Rui lost it all when he beat a spectator in a fit of rage. Now he barely gets by working shady part time jobs. One night while trying to help an injured woman, he is hijacked and framed for robbery. Inextricably entwined with the real culprit, and haunted by a public that thinks he’s to blame, Wen Rui falls into a downward spiral of crime, treachery and violence. Known for his intricately choreographed short films, director Hung Tzu-Hsuan makes his electrifying feature debut with this taut action-packed thriller, marking him a talent to watch.
