Program Note
Lu has fourteen days to live. He plots the heist of the century, a robbery that will be his last breath in the world, which Police negotiator Ho should play to its end. In the farthest asphalt jungle with the typical good-and-evil struggle, two top-class professionals clash in a showdown of pure wits and guts. To’s unique crime film proves the words on a wireless can be tenser than the trigger of a gun.
