Synopsis:

One of the most universally acclaimed motion pictures in the history of Hong Kong cinema. Acclaimed director Gordon Chan ('Fist Of Legend', '2000 AD', 'The Big Heat') dispenses with convention to bring one of the most graphic and insightful action-thrillers of recent years. Ruthlessly realistic, and vivid and unremitting in its uncompromising brutality and honesty, Beast Cops is a visceral and hard-hitting exploration of the dichotomous existence of two cops charged with upholding the law, while balancing on a moral knife-edge. Compelling and controversial, with a breakout performance of startling intensity from leading man Anthony Wong, this raw and enticing action-thriller has mesmerized audiences worldwide with its disturbing examination of the subjective and marginal morality, which inhabits the uncertain and ambiguous world of law enforcement. The graphic intensity of the final reels underpins an unforgettable and harrowing spectacle, which has seldom, if ever, been paralleled in Western cinema.

Tung (Anthony Wong Chau-Sang), a corrupt cop with a major gambling problem, takes bribes with both hands and likes to hang out with the Hong Kong mob. But when he gets a new boss, the straight-and-narrow cop Mike Cheung (Michael Wong), Tung discovers the chief's upright virtue is infectious. As they chase down criminals, the two men find common ground in this gritty crime drama from acclaimed director Gordon Chan.

Sergeant Tung (Anthony Wong) is a street cop in Hong Kong who is friends with a Triad dai lo named Fai (Roy Cheung). Fai hires a hitman to murder a business rival; the hit goes wrong and Fai, implicated in the incident, goes on the run. This leaves Tung in the put upon position to look after Fai's affairs.
