China White

In Amsterdam - in the time before the legalisation of some drugs and the following growth of competition on the market - takes place a war between the Italian and Chinese mafia because of the control of the heroin market.

Directed by Ronny Yu, China White leans on a strong ensemble — Russell Wong, Andy Lau, Steven Vincent Leigh — 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 1989.
