Essentially a mixture of Johnnie To's cinematic style (and casting) and the story of “Infernal Affairs” plus somewhat of John Woo's heroic bloodshed, “Line Walker” aims, though, mostly at entertainment. The film is based on the homonymous 2014 TV series, and later on spawned a sequel.

“Line Walker” is available from Echelon Studios

A Hong Kong police chief who has the identities of all undercover agents in his files manages to protect them by deleting the files before he is murdered. However, this also means that a number of them continue to work unbeknownst to the body of the Force.

The 1969-set drama/thriller starring Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie and Damon Herriman opened 68 per cent bigger than his previous best effort Django Unchained in 2012.

The downside: The Sony Pictures release sucked a lot of air from the second weekends of Universal’s Palm Beach and Transmission Films’ Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan.

The top 20 titles raked in $14.4 million, 3 per cent up on the previous frame, according to Numero. Mind Blowing Films’ Bollywood film Mission Mangal and Magnum Films’ Hong Kong thriller Line Walker 2 had buoyant launches while Universal’s A Dog’s Journey opened with neither bark nor bite, mirroring its Us fate.

‘Line Walker’, one of Tvb’s highest-rated serial dramas in 2014, is hitting the big screen.

Charmaine Sheh is infiltrating the triads once again. Amongst the danger, she has to find the sixth mysterious undercover agent between the two notorious gang members, Louis Koo, who plays a mysterious drug dealer, and Nick Cheung, a tactical cold-blooded killer.

The original main lead, Raymond Lam, will not be in this movie. However, the film has a solid cast featuring Hong Kong superstars like Nick Cheung, Louis Koo, Charmaine Sheh and Francis Ng. Some of the most action-packed scenes shot in Brazil also add a little more exotic flavour to the film.

Line Walker film adaptation will be released in China on August 11, 2016. It is directed by Jazz Boon and produced by Wong Jing.
