About The Blacksheep Affair
A patriotic Chinese cop is reposted to fictional East European country Lavernia as punishment for ignoring orders during a plane hijack operation. There he encounters his ex-girlfriend, who fled to Lavernia after Tiananmen Square. Their paths soon tangle with the charismatic but evil leader of the Japanese cult Aum Shinryuu
Directed by Lam Wai-Lun, The Blacksheep Affair leans on a strong ensemble — Vincent Zhao Wenzhuo, Shu Qi, Andrew Lin Hoi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1998.
