Carving themselves out to be a niche brand and a competitor to the well-liked genre label Magnet Releasing, Indomina Releasing have made their third film pick-up in less than three weeks, grabbing Dante Lam’s Fire of Conscience not from TIFF’s Midnight Madness section, but from the just completed 6th edition of Fantastic Fest in Austin. This is their second action film/Asian title pick-up and gives us a better idea of what kind of company Indomina is branding themselves as. A release should be expected for 2011.
Featuring Leon Lai (Bodyguards and Assassins, Seven Swords) and Richie Ren (Exiled), this is about an investigation of a prostitute’s homicide brings headstrong Detective Manfred in an unlikely collaboration with sly Inspector Kee from the Narcotics Bureau. When the DNA samples of one of Manfred’s fellow officers are found at the crime scene, implicating him as the prime suspect. In the line of fire between high levels of corruption, Manfred must solve all the twists of the mystery.
