Breaking News
Johnny To (MY LEFT EYE SEES GHOSTS) directs this crime thriller, which begins in explosive fashion as a televised bank robbery is dangerously mismanaged by the police. The criminals escape and leave a bloodbath behind them, and the police decide to use the media to broadcast their attempted capture of the gang.

This film is not "Breaking News"
To be clear, I am a massive fan of Johnnie To, I love his early work, his overt styling and at times his sheer arrogance.
