Chinese action thriller "The Stool Pigeon," directed by Dante Lam and starring Nicholas Tse and Nick Cheung, will be released on August 26, M1905.com reports.

Lam brought the cast from his previous film, "Beast Stalker," (2008) back for this new film. Other cast members includes Liu Kai-chi, Guey Lun-mei, Sherman Chung, Miao Pu and Lu Yi.

But the story in Lam's new film has no connection to the old one. "The Stool Pigeon" tells the story of an informer (Nicholas Tse) in a Hong Kong gang who helps a policeman (Nick Cheung) solve a criminal case.

Besides the same cast, the two films also share the theme of exploring human nature and fate.

Lam says he has always been interested in shooting an informant-themed film.

"There's no Hong Kong shoot-out film on this theme yet. It's a good subject for exploring human nature and I have done research with involved people in real life," said Lam.

Nick Cheung won Best Actor at the 28th Hong Kong Film Awards and 46th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for his performance in the previous film, "Beast Stalker."
The movie reunites Nick Cheung with Beast Stalker director Dante Lam and co-star Nicholas Tse.

AFTER Nick Cheung Ka Fai’s haul of awards for the multiple award-winning Beast Stalker (Jing Yan) last year, Stool Pigeon (Sin Yan) has become a much-awaited reunion with director Dante Lam and co-star Nicholas Tse.

Lam’s critically-acclaimed Beast Stalker (2008) for which Cheung showcased his dramatic chops winning him multiple best actor kudos last year – Hong Kong Film Awards, Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards, Taiwan’s Golden Horse Awards (tied with Huang Bo for Cow), South Korea’s Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival – proved the multi-talented actor could straddle comedy and drama with equal success.



In a telephone interview from Nanjing, China, where he is in the middle of another shoot, Cheung responded to queries about work pressures following his winning streak.

“I feel that awards are a form of encouragement so it’s all good. But, if I keep thinking about them, they will become a burden. So, while filming Stool Pigeon, we were all focused on making a good movie.”


The Stool Pigeon Movie Review:

Yet, the path to success has not been a bed of roses for Cheung, as recognition for his film work was well overdue after three nominations for best supporting actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards – The Conman (1998), Triad Election (2006) and Exodus (2007).

In the US$4mil (RM12.5mil) Cantonese movie Stool Pigeon, Cheung plays Inspector Don Lee who works with stool pigeons Ghost Jr (Tse) and Jabber (Liu Kai Chi) and trains other police detectives in the art of relating with informants, a role reversal of sorts for him. In Beast Stalker, Tse was the cop while Cheung played a hitman.

“To me, the difference did not lie in the characters, but in the working atmosphere. After suffering through the making of the very demanding Beast Stalker, which fortunately became very well-received, making Stool Pigeon with the same cast and crew was quite an enjoyable experience for me.”

Relating his most memorable emotional scene in the movie, Cheung said: “My character did something wrong that resulted in his wife’s amnesia. He tries to get close to her, hoping she would regain her memory. But, when she does, the aftermath is absolutely devastating.”

Commenting on reports of director Lam’s intentions to submit both his and Tse’s names to compete for best actor awards, Cheung continued: “We’ve all worked so hard on this movie that I’d be very happy whoever gets an award. I think Tse definitely stands a good chance of winning as his character presents such a stark difference from his role in Beast Stalker, physically and emotionally.”

Few know that Cheung had been an officer with the Royal Hong Kong police force for five years before he became an actor.

Now with some 60 films and 28 TV series under his belt, the 42-year-old actor has played a great variety of roles ranging from a cardsharp in The Conman (1998) to even a dog in Every Dog Has His Date (2001).

Cheung also revealed he had more light-hearted fare in store for Cantonese film viewers. “I recently wrapped the shoot for a costume comedy – Choy San Hak Jan meaning Inn Of The God Of Fortune directed by Wong Jing – with Nicholas.

“After so many serious and heavy films, I felt it was time to give audiences something lighter and fun to look forward to.”

Stool Pigeon is playing in local cinemas nationwide.
Senior Inspector Don Lee relies heavily on the information provided by stool pigeons in his job.Barbarian is a painstakingly meticulous armed robber. Don needs an informant to infiltrate his gang. He recruits street-racer Guy. Guy provides information on Barbarian’s next job, but Don is unable to effectively act on them until the final moment. Since Barbarian has not left any evidence, Don is pressured to convince Guy to become a witness for the prosecution.Don promises to provide Guy with a new identity in another country, but the departure is beset by accidents and Guy only barely makes it to safety.Haunted by his ruined relationships with his ex-wife and former stool pigeons, Don no longer wants to be part of a world that is one betrayal after another.


In a recent talk, Hong Kong filmmaker Derek Yee shared his experience about how to deal with Mainland film examiners. As for advice when shooting action films, he concluded that directors had better use a panoramic view to shoot violent scenes.
His fellow Hong Kong director Dante Lam's latest action film "The Stool Pigeon" shattered what he had previously learned.
The upcoming Hong Kong cops and gangsters film "The Stool Pigeon" was screened for the press in Beijing recently, and proved the film had passed the Mainland examiners and would be presented in its original form without any cuts.
In this film, the director prefers to be more realistic when expressing his aesthetics of violence. When a stool pigeon is stabbed by a group of gangsters, the director zooms in to capture the facial expression of the stool pigeon. While an informer is escaping, Dante Lam cuts the sound and adds light music to augment the actor's concentration.
For female audience members, some of the violent scenes may be tough to swallow; but rest assured most men will enjoy the action.
One critic said the film wiped away the recent years of love stories, as it recalls the classic gang themes from Hong Kong crime films. There are definitely a few violent scenes which stimulate the senses and gets the adrenalin flowing.
Meanwhile, Lam has made a subversive change to the cast. Although the film is made by the same team that produced the action film, "The Beast Stalker," Nick Cheung, who won Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards for his role as the kidnapper in that film, plays a cop in this one. And the sergeant Nicholas Tse from "The Beast Stalker" now portrays a recently released convict who becomes an informer for Cheung.
This is a big break for Tse, and his performance will provide him with a good chance to win Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards next year.
This role reversal is also seen with Kwai Lun-Mei and Lu Yi, whose girl-next-door and "sunny boy" images have already impressed mainland audiences. Kwai plays a gang member and girlfriend of the gang's big brother Lu Yi.
These changes within the film and the actors may not reform the current downturn situation of Hong Kong films, but at least it's a refreshing break.
