What Overheard Is About

A surveillance team in the Hong Kong police is listening to an investment firm suspected of fraud. But the film is not interested in the firm; it is interested in the three officers, who realise the market information coming through their headphones could make them money, and once they cross that line there is no way back. Each has his own reason: one a sick child, one a debt. Alan Mak, one of the writers of Infernal Affairs, directed. It became a series, but the later films tell entirely different stories with the same actors, so they need not be watched in order.
