V is an authentic Cantonese crime thriller starring Zhu Yilong, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Michelle Wai, and Kara Wai, following a joint mainland-Hong Kong police operation to capture a billionaire kidnapper in an Infernal Affairs-style game of loyalty and betrayal. Inspired by the real-life 1990s kidnapping that shocked Asia, the film pairs visceral gunfights with psychological warfare waged through every glance.
