Overheard 3 (2014) (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)
The Overheard trilogy comes to an epic conclusion with Overheard 3. Once again written and directed by Alan Mak and Felix Chong (Infernal Affairs), the third film in the hit series (again an independent story) is a sweeping saga about Hong Kong’s New Territory region, where land is the all-important currency that people live and die for. Superstars Lau Ching Wan, Louis Koo and Daniel Wu are back as three key characters who play pivotal roles in this dangerous battle of wits. Billing the film as the swan song of the series, the filmmakers and producer Derek Yee have also rounded up cast members from the first two films including Alex Fong, Michelle Ye, Crystal Huang and Kenneth Tsang as well as new members Zhou Xun (The Great Magician), Gordon Lam (Cold War) and Ng Man Tat to bid farewell to the immensely successful trilogy. Thanks to the star power and its timely topic, Overheard 3 is one of the highest-grossing Hong Kong films of 2014.
In the 1970s, the Hong Kong government enacted a policy that granted each male heir of New Territories villagers the privilege to build a house without paying any dues to the government. Since then, those grants have become a commodity that village leaders can profit from. Luk (Kenneth Tsang) is one of those leaders. However, the Luk family’s NT Land Group shocks the village when it decides to go public thanks to an ambitious residential high-rise project made possible with the grants it bought up and the help of a businessman from Mainland China (Huang Lei). Bitter over not receiving a share of the new company, the Luk Brothers (Lau Ching Wan, Gordon Lam, Alex Fong, Lam Ka Wah) set a plan in motion to grab the company shares they should’ve gotten. Meanwhile, Jau (Louis Koo), one of the Luk Brothers, has been released from prison after serving five years for committing a murder that paved the way for the high-rise project. On the surface, he appears to be rejoining the Luk Brothers, but he’s secretly working with technology expert Joe (Daniel Wu) to spy on the four men for someone from his past..
