There have been many instances where suspected underworld criminals have been killed while in police custody, ostensibly in shootouts while accompanying
officers to show arms caches. It is widely held by the general public that while the rule of law has been severely compromised, the police have, on such
occasions, acted arbitrarily and with disregard for due process. It is not the police nor the particular officers but the particular governments that require
such suspects to be eliminated. The police merely execute their wishes. For this, relevant officers are offered the carrot of possible promotions. This film
discusses the thoughts and concerns of three officers as they travel together to a destination marked for the assassination of a suspect with whom they
have no quarrel whatsoever.
Winner of best screenplay and cinematography awards in the Asian New Talent section at the Shanghai International Film Festival.
