The Blizzard

Liu Haiyang and Song Chao were best friends at Police Academy. After witnessing his trusted friend escape after the murder of his father, Liu Haiyang embarks on a quest for bitter revenge that takes him from Harbin to Hainan, only to uncover an illicit relationship between his wife- Chu Jie and his best friend. But neither of them realize they are mere cogs inside a deeper, more sinister conspiracy.

Directed by Jiang Kaiyang, The Blizzard leans on a strong ensemble — Nie Yuan, Xu Lu, Tan Kai — 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 crime titles of 2018.
