Finally hitting theaters in 2009, Dante Lam's ( The Beast Stalker ) long-awaited crime thriller The Sniper revolves around the sniper squad of the Hong Kong Police's Special Duties Unit (SDU). Taiwan actor-singer Richie Jen ( Exiled ) faces off against popular Mainland actor Huang Xiaoming ( Royal Tramp ) as lethal sharpshooters on opposite sides of the law. Edison Chen ( Dog Bite Dog ), whose 2008 photo scandal led to the film's delayed release and re-editing, portrays an upstart sniper, along with a supporting cast that includes Taiwan veteran Jack Kao ( Parking ), Bowie Lam ( Hard Boiled ), Wilfred Lau ( Lady Cop & Papa Crook ), Liu Kai Chi ( The Beast Stalker ), Patrick Tang ( Whispers and Moans ), Michelle Yip ( Moonlight in Tokyo ), former pop singer Mango Wong, and action director Stephen Tung Wai. Packed with intense shootouts, training montages, and other entertaining genre staples, The Sniper hits the mark as a fast-paced Hong Kong-style action thriller. Sharpshooter Hartman (Richie Jen) runs a tight ship as head of the SDU sniper team, but hotshot rookie OJ (Edison Chen) keeps questioning his authority and training regiment and even takes pointers from Hartman's rival, former top sniper Lincoln (Huang Xiaoming). An arrogant ace whose shooting skills surpassed Hartman, Lincoln has just been released from prison after serving time for accidentally shooting a hostage, and he wants revenge. In a blatant challenge to Hartman and the police, Lincoln helps crime boss Tao (Jack Kao) escape from custody, paving the way for a deadly showdown between the snipers. This edition comes with trailer, making of, and deleted scenes.
