Almost a year after the crime thriller Wolf Hiding was released, director Ma Yuke teams up once again with award-winning Hong Kong star Nick Cheung Ka-fai in their latest film Go
This latest film focuses on a protagonist in a fictional city where a ruthless drug trafficking group spreads ruin and despair through addiction. Persecuted by the traffickers, the protagonist seeks revenge and cooperates with a police officer to eliminate the crime leaders. However, their efforts take an unexpected turn.
Actor-turned-director Ma, who rose to fame with the anti-drug-themed film The White Storm, said during a promotional event held in Beijing on Aug 14 that he drew inspiration for the story from the real-life experiences of someone he knew, which led to the extensive research on the battle against drugs.
The film, also starring actor Ethan Juan and actress Sandrine Pinna, was released across Chinese mainland theaters on Aug 16.
