PTU

PTU is an extraordinary Johnnie To cop thriller, with his high stylization, pithy dialogue, and intricate narrative. This film depicts a one-night search for a colleague's lost gun. The Tactical Unit officers, SGT Mike and SGT Kat begin their anti-crime patrol through the harbor area. They discover that SGT Lo is being attacked by a group of gangsters and loses his gun. They only have until dawn to find the missing gun. Inspector Cheung from CID is in charge of investigating Ponytail's death. Lo's suspicious behavior makes him a likely suspect on Cheung's list. Violence eventually erupted between the robbers and the cops on the mean street. This film is a crystallization of the Western, wuxia movies, and the cops-and-robbers genre.
