Andy Lau, Louis Koo and director Herman Yau (NYAFF 2013) come together in this dog-eat-dog epic of “antiheroic bloodshed.” A sequel in name only, The White Storm 2 Drug Lords is the 1990s gangster genre at its most dastardly and deadpan.

Clashing against each other like towering titans going on a rampage in the mean streets of Hong Kong, Koo and Lau play a deadly cat and mouse game of retaliation and retribution. Drugs are snorted, dead bodies are carted in and out of the frame culminating in a mind-blowing, subway station-wrecking car chase. Crime reigns in a world where tycoons are just as dirty as the triads.
