China’s most exciting new action star Zhang Jin (The Grandmaster, SPL 2: A Time for Consequences, Ip Man 3, Pacific Rim: Uprising) gets his first leading role—and goes blond—in this crime drama set on the high seas. Zhang plays Tung, a police officer determined to crack the black-market gold operation run by fisherman-turned-smuggler Shing (Shawn Yue). His manhunt leads him from a small fishing village under Shing’s control to an unlikely partnership with triad boss Blackie (Yasuaki Kurata, in the midst of a career revival), who lives in international waters on a casino cruise ship.
