PEACE BREAKER: Catch The Latest Trailer For The Aaron Kwok Thriller

I’m just sort of counting the days until news breaks on distribution for Lien Yi-Chi’s new film, Peace Breaker. Until then, the latest trailer has arrived with Kwok starring as a corrupt cop caught in a jam involving a deadly accident, lots of drugs, and a mysterious enemy who holds all the cards in actor Wang Qianyuan. The trailer definitely sells the action, but for an adaptation of a Korean thriller with darker characters, a lot of this feels a lot more comical than it probably should. Maybe some subtitles would fare better with context and maybe we’ll see that happen shortly after the film’s August 18 China release. Check out the trailer!

PEACE BREAKER: Aaron Kwok’s Day Only Gets Harder In The Newest Trailer

Sweet Alibi helmer Lien Yi-Chi’s latest, Peace Breaker, is officially stamped for an August 18 release in China and a new official trailer is making the rounds. Those keen on Asian cinema will find themselves in familiar territory, with this particular story – taking cues from its hit 2014 South Korean predecessor, A Hard Day, in which a morally bent detective, in the wake of a family member’s death, tries to cover up an accidental crime only to find himself in deeper and deadlier straits. That story now has actor Aaron Kwok leading opposite Brotherhood Of Blades co-star Wang Qianyuan who plays the mysterious figure holding our anti-hero hostage for his own means. It’s all connected in the narrative, rife with mystery and suspense and a good, fair deal of explosive thrills and excitement, and you’re more than welcome to feast your eyes on it all below!

PEACE BREAKER: Secrets And Corpses Pile Up On Aaron Kwok In The First Official Trailer!

You know the old saying “crime doesn’t pay, right?”. Well, underlying sardonic messaging there in Kim Seoung-Hun’s acclaimed 2014 crime thriller, A Hard Day, served amply instrumental in its seething and searing delivery with Lee Sun-Kyun starring and ultimatley carrying the film in its festival uproar. Three years later and it might feel a bit sudden for some, although judging by how you choose to perceive Sweet Alibi helmer Lien Yi-Chi’s craft, his latest treatment on the property with Peace Breaker might do some justice. For this, we get Aaron Kwok taking the reigns opposite Brotherhood Of Blades star, actor Wang Qianyuan filling Cho Jin-Woong’s shoes for the story of a morally bent cop who, in the wake of a family member’s death, tries to cover up an accidental crime only to find himself in throes of a mysterious man holding him hostage from afar. What ensues is some pretty […]

PEACE BREAKER: Aaron Kwok Stares Down The Barrel Of Death In The First Official Poster For The Upcoming ‘A Hard Day’ Remake

Lee B. Golden III

If you need a good cop thriller to tick you off in the best way, I wholly recommend Kim Sung-Hyun’s 2014 bonafide hit, A Hard Day. Actor Lee Sun-Kyun gives one of the best corrupt cop performances of his career and notably among any South Korean flick of the same genre, and having been highly regarded as such, it’s easy to see why a remake would appeal in a different market. That said, Sweet Alibi helmer Lien Yi-Chi may have had a critical hit at the time, but it didn’t put enough butts in seats and hopefully his next offering will remedy that. That opportunity now comes with his own take on the aformentioned film with the new movie, Peace Breaker, featuring Aaron Kwok opposite Brotherhood Of Blades co-star Wang Qianyuan in the story of a morally bent detective who, in the wake of a family member’s death, tries to […]

A HARD DAY: Aaron Kwok Will Lead The Chinese Remake Of The Hit South Korean Cop Thriller

Lee B. Golden III

Director Kim Sung-Hoon’s recent cat-and-mouse crime thriller, A Hard Day, was an award-winning feat earning a slew of noms and wins as it circulated festivals between 2014 and 2015. Regrettably, it’s also a film that I overlooked and having recently seen it for myself, not a day goes by that whenever someone asks me if there are any good movies out there to help kill time, that I don’t mention this title first. It’s that good. They say an action movie is only as good as its villains. Well, what if you have a character like the one played by actor Lee Sun-Kyun? As the story goes, he’s a detective, already a crooked cop upscaling the hierarchy of his police force until a tragic accident threatens to derail everything he’s worked for. He spends every waking hour and day thereafter trying to cover up his crime until one day, a […]
