Protege
Nick (Daniel Wu, NEW POLICE STORY) is a narcotics agent who has gone undercover to win the trust of one of Hong Kong's drug kingpins, known as 'Banker', (Andy Lau, INFERNAL AFFAIRS). Having been groomed as Banker's protege, Nick becomes embroiled in the trade and finds himself entering a murky grey moral area. Derek Yee's PROTEGE takes an in-depth look at the Asian drug trade--ranging in scope from the men responsible for growing the heroin to individual heroin users--and features outstanding performances from the cast, including a masterful turn by Andy Lau.

An infernal affair
Starts off promisingly as a slick HK thriller-cum-Andy Lau vehicle, but soon gets bogged down in druggy social realism. Thanks, but we do them.

Half great crime drama and half sappy moral dilemma
