About The Sniper
In the old Shanghai before liberation, forces from all sides gathered here, and they grew up and down, rampant and domineering. The two major underworld forces, the Qinglong Gang and the Qilin Gang, often fight for supremacy, and blood splatters on the streets. One day, three members of the Qinglong Gang were dead on the street.
Directed by Billy Tang, The Sniper leans on a strong ensemble — Wallace Chung Hon-Leung, Ashton Chen Xiaolong, Qi Fang — 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 2009.
