Cold War (寒战) (2012)

This police procedural has the HK police force scrambling to combat a group of well-organised terrorists who have a mole in the force.

The gimmick: opposing interests, political manoeuvring, and grandstanding and everyday politicking within the force is of more consequence and more entertaining than their search for the terrorists.

Watch for: highly sophisticated, intellectual writing in a police thriller.
