Harbin - Slow Paced Historical Drama Movie with Intriguing Plot

On New Year's day, there were two movies released in Indonesian cinemas which interest me and my wife. As mentioned in my previous post, we saw both of them on another one of our movie marathon last Saturday. All right then, I'll just head on to the second film now.

Brief Story Line

Story was set in the year 1909 during the time when Korea was part of the Japanese empire and focused on the Korean resistance fighters. One of their leaders was Ahn Jung-geun (Hyun Bin - Rampant, Crash Landing on You TV series etc) who had pledged and made plans to assassinate the Prime Minister of Japan, Ito Hirobumi (Lily Franky - Tokyo Swindlers TV series, Call Me Chihiro etc) in Harbin where he was scheduled to meet with Minister of Russia.

The Prosecutor - A Very Entertaining Action Thriller Movie from Donnie Yen

I was quite surprised to see glimpses of trailer to this movie on the TV behind the cinema's cashier while buying tickets for another film last week, cause it starred one of my favorite Hong Kong actor Donnie Yen which I was not aware of. Obviously my wife and I would not want to miss it, so we readied ourselves yesterday for a movie marathon. Without further ado, here's more on the movie.

Brief Story Line

Fok Chi-ho (Donnie Yen - John Wick: Chapter 4, Come Back Home etc) was a former police who decided to become a prosecutor in Department of Justice. In his first assignment, Fok was working together with his senior Bao Ding (Kent Cheng - I Did it My Way, Chasing the Dragon etc) to prosecute a young man named Ma Jia Jie (Mason Fung - Zero to Hero etc) involved in drug trafficking case. Ma was assisted by experienced lawyer Au Bo Wen (Julian Cheung - Final Score, L Storm movies etc) and his associate Lee Si Min (Shirley Chan - My Indian Boyfriend etc).
