      Audience Member I can see this as a remake in the future, you can pick your dream cast to play these roles. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Simple but addictive crime thriller, cynical and with a notable ending. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Stumbled upon this movie on tivo earlier in the evening. A pretty decent movie with an important lesson - always do the right thing and the right thing is usually the hardest thing to do. Love watching my favourite HK actors Lau Ching Wan, Loois Koo and Daniel Wu. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member If you've seen "Infernal Affairs" then this is of non-existent value. The scriptwriters try the same thing but in all honesty it almost worked but for the rushed ending or rather the "oh so predictable" finale just spoils it all. It explores human emotions more than twisty plots, that's what makes it bearable. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member although being a crime thriller I found it much more of a drama and suspense. especially when the popcorn popping score by Chan Kwong Wing kicks in. it explores the dark side of surveillance with an appropriately dark enough atmosphere. but somehow, the very same film makers behind Infernal Affairs fails to make Overheard anywhere near as iconic Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This is some new idea, it then developed into great suspends when they tried to cover their track. Although the film tries to spread old value of greed, the suspend creates great entertainment for audience Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
