Black Ransom (See piu fung wan) Film Review
Black Ransom Cantonese Film Synopsis :
Cheung Bo-Man (Simon Yam) used to be an elite in the police force. He was an idol among the younger police cadets for being an ace shooter, highly observant and a calm mind. However, after the murder of his wife by triads, he lost the motivation to live and sink into depression. His relationship with his daughter also deteriorated.
During this time, he encountered the greatest challenge of his life. He was sent to investigate a series of kidnappings and murders of triad leaders by the newly posted Chief Superintendent of Police, Ku Kwok Kiong (Fala Chen). The perpetrators of the crimes were higher organized, professional, cruel and violent.
After investigation, he found that the leader of the perpetrators was an ex-police officer (Michael Miu) and all his underlings were ex-SDU members. Therefore, they were familiar with police procedures and techniques which enabled them to predict the police’s moves. He soon found that Cheung Bo-Man is after his trails and a life-death battle of courage and wits unfolds… .

Hong Kong Movie Reviews :
My friend Tim and I watched this last night at the Dynasty. It was a lot of fun, and featured some notable performances, but more on that later.
Black Ransom/撕票風雲 tells the story of a veteran cop (Simon Yam) trying to figure out who is kidnapping local gang bosses and demanding ransom. More importantly, he wants to know why these people are being ransomed, since none of them are very wealthy (at least by local standards).
In a funny Hong Kong Movie Moment, it is a treat to watch Simon Yam, who portrayed kidnapper ‘Big Spender’ Cheung in Operation Billionaires/驚天大賊王, play a cop trying to catch kidnappers.
The film is completely genre-fulfilling, and at times has plot holes nearly big enough to fit the narrative’s monstrous logical lapses into: Why is it so easy to get past a police cordon in the movies? “No, that’s my father in there!” (with the bad guy shooting at each other and blowing stuff up) “Oh, go ahead, miss…
Or how about when the bad guy sends a photo of Simon’s daughter to him, and shortly thereafter Simon leaves her alone in their flat (he’s a widower) to go and catch the guy who sent the photo? “Ahhh, she’ll be fine,
There are a few of those, but even so, the film manages to entertain. It’s not designed to break new generic ground, and it doesn’t need to.
What sets this film apart for me, if in an admittedly limited fashion, is the performances by some of the characters. Simon Yam has become a very dependable presence, and his character seems very believable. Granted, it’s not a big stretch, but he brings a lot of believability to an aging detective raising a daughter alone while facing his growing irrelevance/age handicap at work.
This aspect of the film is handled with more sensitivity and depth than usual, such that there are some smaller roles by actors of yesteryear (their names escape me and I apologize) and its a nice surprise to see them. In addition, they act well in their roles.
