Ringo Lam, the director of one of the most influential Hong Kong crime films City on Fire (1987), returns to the crime genre with this exciting and stylish neo-noir. Starring Louis Koo and Shawn Yue, Wild City offers a classic cat and mouse tale as a former cop and his wayward brother quickly get out of their depth when they take on a ruthless gang of Taiwanese gangsters.
