Plot
A sequel to the triad drama.
Sinekatalog’s take
Johnnie To's triad sequel follows the fight over the chairmanship as ambition turns ruthless. Cold, tense and cynical, with Simon Yam and Louis Koo, it is an even bleaker, politically sharp follow-up to the original.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
