A Blockbuster Smash Hit in Hong Kong 2023 became
this Courtroom Thriller
with, surprisingly, Dayo Wong in an almost serious role. Wong is good
as
the disgruntled and arrogant ex-judge Adrian Lam, now a lawyer at a
law
firm. His plan is to be a lazy corrupt lawyer as everyone else with
his job
and to do services for the Hong Kong rich elite.
BUT when he and his colleague Evelyn (Renci Yeung) represents a woman,
Tsang (Louise Wong) accused of child neglect leading to death, Adrian
Lam
bungles the case (involving also the son of a HK Tycoon) so badly that
Tsang is found guilty of manslaughter. She's sentenced to 17 years in
prison
Two years later Lam has a bad conscience for mishandling
the Tsang case
and Lam and Evelyn is working again to make the court re-open the case
due
to new facts emerging. Finally Adrian Lam has a chance to redeem himself.
But as the tycoon son Chung (Adam Pak) is involved in the case the Chung
family asks for help from Uncle Tung (Michael Wong). Tung is a "Fixer"
and he helps the HK Elite to get out of trouble, and he looks to that
the
prosecuter in the case will be Kam (Tse Kwan Ho) an old enemy to Lam.
The beautiful but evil Victoria Chung is the wife of
Desmond Chung and
she's played by Fish Liew. Will Lam have a chance of winning the case
against his adversaries and the rich elite ? What do you think, does
Panda
bears poop in the Bamboo woods ?
