Director Ringo Lam ( City on Fire ) helms the gripping cat-and-mouse cop thriller Full Alert , starring the dynamite acting team of Sean Lau Ching Wan and Francis Ng! Officer Pao (Sean Lau Ching Wan) is a hard-boiled cop who investigates a routine murder committed by a sullen loser named Mak Kwan (Francis Ng). He immediately cops to a manslaughter charge, but there may be more up Mak Kwan's sleeve. Pao's team has discovered suspicious explosive-making materials among Mak Kwan's belongings...but just how and when does he plan to use them? All they can do is follow Mak Kwan until he reveals his plans. But Mak Kwan knows he's being watched, and the game is afoot... Ringo Lam brings a riveting intensity and astounding complexity to Full Alert , a seemingly routine cop thriller that becomes so much more in the hands of the master director. Lam paints fully-realized portraits of his two lead protagonists, revealing characters that are more gray than black or white. Considered one of the best Hong Kong films of 1997, Full Alert received awards for both Best Picture and Best Actor (for Sean Lau Ching Wan) from the Hong Kong Film Critics Society.
