Shock Wave [2017] (BLU)
Herman Yau
Synopsis
Written and directed by Herman Yau (IP Man: The Legend Is Born), with both Yau and Lau as producers, the spellbinding action film captured the #1 box office spot in China and Hong Kong when it hit theaters earlier this year. With a $23 million budget, Shock Wave has become Hong Kong's second-highest grossing domestic film of 2017 and was celebrated as "disarmingly entertaining" by The Hollywood Reporter.
Set on the busy streets of Hong Kong, Lau stars as Cheung Choi-san, a bomb disposal expert working to protect his city from attack. When a terrorist who specializes in explosives, Hung Kai-pang (Jiang Wu, A Touch of Sin), takes hold of the busy Cross-Harbor Tunnel, he threatens to kill hostages if his demands are not met.
The third collaboration between Yah and Lau, Shock Wave holds an 80% score on Rotten Tomatoes and is praised for its high-octane drama that put Lau in a 70-pound bomb disposal suit during filming.
Special Features:
- Exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film, including an interview with Lau.
