The trailer of the latest movie of Hong Kong film director Dante Lam, came out recently. “Fire of Conscience” is a fitting follow-up to his 2008 critically acclaimed film “Beast Stalker”, which starred Nick Cheung and Liu Kai-Chi, as well as “Sniper” starring Richie Ren (“Accident” 2009), Huang Xiaoming (“Ip Man 2” – 2010 and “The Founding of the Republic” – 2009), and Edison Chen (“The Grudge 2” – 2006) . Lam, who won the best director trophy of the Hong Kong Film Award together with Gordon Chan in 1998, also directed the 2003 Hong Kong box office hit, “The Twins Effect” which owes part of its success to the popularity of the Cantopop duo, Twins.
The “Fire of Conscience” is the newest police action/thriller of Lam which stars Leon Lai (“Bodyguards and Assassins” – 2009 and “The Founding of a Republic” – 2009) and Richie Ren as two police officers. The film was originally known as “Out of Leash”. The movie revolves around the investigation of the death of a prostitute which forces the forceful and determined Detective Manfred (Lai) to work with sophisticated and clever Narcotics Bureau Inspector Kee (Ren). After samples of DNA from the scene of the crime implicate a member of Manfred’s police force, Manfred must see past the obvious to uncover the truth behind the homicide. However, Kee’s over eagerness to help the investigation even if it is outside his jurisdiction has also raised some suspicions. Manfred’s job has now become complicated as he tries to discover the real identity of the one responsible at the same time keep the integrity of his guiltless partner. Manfred inadvertently uncovers a reality that may threaten to cause a lot of turmoil in the whole Hong Kong Police Force. The movie is scheduled for release on April 1, 2010 all over Hong Kong.
