White Storm

Clams Casino - Numb (Remastered)

Just finished a film called "White Storm" starring Sean Lau (Lau Ching Wan), Louis Koo (Koo Ting Lok) and Nick Cheung (Cheung Ka Fai) which is about the cocaine drug trade between Hong Kong and Thailand. Not as particularly in depth about the topic as say, Traffic, but as potent and strong dramatically as The Killer or The Wild Bunch. It's got that old Western feel to it in terms of brotherly camaraderie and male bonding. Very strong, a little melodramatic and as violent as they come. Extremely good viewing. Lau Ching Wan is in my top 5 favourite Hong Kong actors. I've never seen a film of his that I haven't liked. He's awesome.

My other top 5 Hong Kong actors:
- Tony Leung (Chiu Wai), Hard Boiled, 2046, In The Mood For Love, Seoul Raiders.
- Simon Yam (Tat Wah), SPL, Ip Man, PTU, Election.
- Tony Leung (Ka-Fai), Cold War, Election, Ashes of Time, Double Vision.
- Anthony Wong (Chau-Sang), Hard Boiled, Infernal Affairs, Exiled, Full Contact.
