Also starting Kevin Lee. Brilliant actor. Definitely one to keep an eye on. He played along #robertknepper, and has a real quality screen presense, about him.
Hmm, interesting to see a post praising one of the films supporting cast, Kevin Lee by “Kevin Lee Actor’ himself… interesting way of promoting one’s self
Am looking forward to this, big fan of Ding Shen’s work, i think his take on Better Tomorrow was fun and if his Police Story movie with Jackie had not been given the Police Story name, i think it would have been better recieved, i like the dark feel of it
And interesting to see Robert Knepper from Prison Break in a China movie, i rewatched the Keiifer Sutherland/Lou Diamond Philips RENEGADES a few days ago, and had forgotten a young dapper Knapper turns up in that as a villain
I am sure that certain parties will complain about it having Western villains, and that makes it China propaganda but lets wait till we see it
