Furious 8 won the season with its billion dollar success coming into May. That didn’t stop Herman Yau’s new bomb disposal thriller, Shock Wave from hitting the top spot at the box office just this past weekend in China, thus lending an ample start for the film’s run as it hits screens overseas.

Just for upkeep, the latest trailer for Herman Yau’s new movie, Shock Wave, arrived online, and with a much more heavy dose of comprehension thanks to English subs. The film opens on April 20 and with beloved actor Andy Lau fresh and on the mend from an earlier injury overseas in time for the film’s campaign to ramp up as it already has… which doesn’t make his role seem any less pretentious, to be frank. You’ll see why in the trailer below as his character, a senior bomb disposal expert caught amid the standstill between police and a tunnel jammed by armed men whose leader (Jiang Wu) has a vendetta against our hero, is introduced by his own volition as almost something of a endowed nature. That to me feels like biting off more than one can chew and doesn’t do jack for the story in the least in my […]

Lee B. Golden III

News coming out of Hong Kong Filmart reports via THR that actor Andy Lau (Firestorm, Saving Mr. Wu) will begin his next venture in reunion with director Herman Yau (Ip Man: The Final Fight) for the new action thriller, Shock Wave. Lau is one who’s been the center of attention from time to time, and particularly with recent news of a sequel to his earlier fantasy muscle suit-fu actioner, Running On Karma, which I hope we hear more on soon. In the meantime, Lau will star in Shock Wave as an Explosive Ordinance Disposal Bureau officer on the hunt for the mentor who trained him earlier in his career, all in the wake of a bomb threat at the Cross Harbour Tunnel. Lau is also set to produce the film through his Infinitus Films banner with Universe Films and co-financier, China’s Bona Film Group, and with a few statements that further […]
