Director Njo Kui-Ying is finally poised to get the locals entertained with his new thriller, Road To Vendetta. The film ran screenings for the Pingyao Film Festival and Hong Kong Asian Film Festival after its World Premiere at Fantastic Fest, and after a poster reveal, an official trailer has finally arrived.
Hidden in a bustling city, a noodle shop serves as a hub for a mysterious assassin organisation. No.4, orphaned and raised in the shop, accepts a seemingly straightforward mission in Japan, where he falls into a trap set by his mysterious client.
As she attempts to recruit him for her vendetta, their actions lead to both being hunted by the yakuza. Starring rising star Jeffrey Ngai in his first leading role, alongside Japanese newcomer Sara Minami and veteran Naoto Takenaka, with Chu Pak Him and Rosa Maria Velasco, this Hong Kong-Japan coproduction delivers a composed and enthralling calling card from a cast who together make an unstoppable team.
Featuring action sequences by Koichi Sakamoto, Road To Vendetta bows in Hong Kong on December 4. Check out the trailer below and feel free to visit my Fantastic Fest review for good measure.
