While attending the Hong Kong Filmart earlier this year I commented that it appeared star Louis Koo was poised to have a very good year, appearing in two very intriguing new films being heavily promoted at the time. One was the Soi Cheang directed, Johnnie To produced Accident - rumored to be complete around September - while the other was OVerheard, the new cop thriller from writer-director duo Alan Mak and Felix Chong, who have had their hands in a good number of Hong Kong's best cop thrillers of recent years. Here's the synopsis for this one:

A major stock exchange in the world, Hong Kong attracts not only money but any who try to manipulate the market. At the Hong Kong Police Force Commercial Crime Bureau, an operation is underway to infiltrate a trading company, Feng Hua International where a man, nicknamed “Boss” is the chief suspect.

The team, led by Inspector Leung (Lau Ching Wan) together with Yeung (Louis Koo) and Lam (Daniel Wu) install interception devices to monitor the company’s communications. When a crucial information on a surging share were intercepted, a moment of greed led the team in a cross fire between the Bureau and the boss.

Koo, Lau and Wu together in a slick action thriller? Sounds a winner to me. And the trailer looks solid, too. Check it below the break.
