Q&A with director Dante Lam and producer Candy Leung; Lam will receive the Daniel A. Craft Award for Excellence in Action Cinema
A major breakthrough in action cinema, Dante Lam’s epic follow-up to 2016’s Operation Mekong is a nonstop barrage of shootouts, deadly hand-to-hand combat, high-powered chases, and nail-biting suspense.
