About this movie

Mansun Wong (Lau Ching Wan), a successful stockbroker brought in by a shady high level syndicate to handle their portfolio, is injured in a car accident while trying to evade mysterious surveillance operative Joe (Daniel Wu), who has been watching and listening in on his every move. The police, led by Inspector Jack Ho (Louis Koo), begin searching for the rogue eavesdropper, but even as Joe causes increasing amounts of collateral damage to evade capture, Ho begins to suspect that Wong, with his connection to the mysterious financial conglomerate the Landlord Club might be the bigger crook. The fate of these three men soon intertwines in a cat-and-mouse game that may bring down the entire stock market. © Pinnacle Films 2012 (Original Title: Overheard 2)

Ratings and reviews

Decent follow up to the original. New roles and more twists makes this a successful sequel. Slightly long but probably necessary for the plot to develop for the climax that is surprising but still meets the moral high ground that most HK movies tend to dish out.

I was looking everywhere for a Cantonese copy of this movie. I wouldn't rent it if I knew it was in Mandarin! Google should have stated that clearly!

Rubbish! Don't bother.
