Sons of the Neon Night

Snow coats the streets of Hong Kong as a cataclysm rocks Causeway Bay, setting off a brutal clash between factions. A pharmaceutical heir's plan surfaces amid the wreckage, and the death of his father in a hospital room sharpens the conflict into a full blown drug war. As corporations and criminal gangs brace for control, Moreton Li, a hard nosed fixer, and Wong Chi-tat, a veteran investigator, find themselves drawn into a web where loyalties shift with the next gunfire. The story follows their attempts to survive while the city trembles under fear, betrayals, and escalating violence. The movie avoids heavy exposition, letting action and mood carry the story.

Directed by Juno Mak, the film arrives in 2025 with an original story by Chou Man-Yu. The production pairs a star-studded cast with a glossy urban aesthetic that highlights Hong Kong's neon and snow drenched streets.

Critics praise the film for its taut pacing and tense atmosphere, while noting the moral ambiguity at its center. Themes of power, family legacy, and the cost of violence ripple through the story, offering a brisk meditation on legitimacy versus criminality.
