Basically this movie was filmed because of Wong Zho Lam popularity in the drama and as a host, therefore, pretty girls have to be there as his "gals"... but of coz, only those whom are not the TOP actresses acted in this movie. Overall the movie is just ok, predictable, not very funny though... a big surprise for me is to see Mui Siu Wai appeared in this movie :)

Same like the previous I Love HK, most of the actors & actresses are from TVB. Its happy to see that they have chances to go on big screen which not all the celebrities have the chance. Overall the storyline is ok, a bit predictable, but its still ok~ I watched this old cny movie because of the cny, or else, this wont be in my "to-watch-list"~

In the early 1970s, the Governor of Hong Kong decided to clean up the police force. The ICAC was established, whose operation branch was headed by Yim. Bong and Unicorn also joined the ICAC. Despite threats of violence and intimidation, they managed to bring about the downfall of the empire of graft.

 Love this movie very much, never know that Wang Jing can be good in directing a serious movie. The whole movie flows quite well and there is no any scene which i feel is an extra. Eason did a good job so as Tony, Anthony & Wang Jing who never failed to delivers the good acting. Natalie is surprisingly sexy in this movie and definitely KO Kate Tsui in this movie.

No doubt this is a nice and funny romance film, but i don't think Miriam Yeung is good enough to win Best Actress in one of the award. Its nothing special compare to her previous acting. For me, if Raymond Lam really wanna outstand himself, i would recommend him to appear on the big screen with only short underwear or let us have a good look at his butt~ or else, with his this kind of acting, he will never shine at all~

Story:

Eye in the Sky takes place around the darker side of Hong Kong society, where the story begins with a group of organised burglars successfully robbing a jewelry store. The plot begins with the wet-behind-the-ears new recruit Piggy, who is plunged at the deep end in her first surveillance assignment working alongside her mentor, Sergeant Wong. Both of them work for the Hong Kong Police Force's Criminal Intelligence Bureau. After reviewing the jewelry store surveillance videos, the Force attempt to track down one of the robbers by staking out the neighborhood they think he lives in.

Fatman is identified and tracked without his knowledge through a combination of tails, surveillance footage, and data-mining, including accessing his octopus card. The Force ambush is established at the scene of the next robbery, but the elusive Hollow Man notices the police. As the robbers flee, some are killed by a Police Tactical Unit, but the rest escape. Chan kills an uniformed police officer as he flees, and Piggy stops to give first aid rather than continue the pursuit.

The surveillance unit is then called to another case; a kidnapping. Piggy is staking out a phone booth where the kidnapper may make a call, when she sees Hollow Man go by. She recognises the kidnapper from Fatman's apartment building and allows the police to rescue the kidnap victim, while she pursues Hollow Man. After a tense confrontation in a cafe, where Hollow Man confronts her, she escapes suspicion, but Hollow Man notices Sergent Wong and stabs him in the neck with a pair of scissors. Wong convinces Piggy to continue to follow Hollow Man as he slowly bleeds to death.

Piggy follows Wong to his hideout and calls for the Police Tactical Unit again. Meanwhile, Wong survives his injury and gets medical attention. In the raid on the hideout, Hollow Man flees down a dock and wounds himself mortally in the neck running past a hanging hook, and the other robbers were captured.

Nominated for the Golden horse and the Golden awards, Nai-Hai You has won the Best new director; Kate won the best new actress & Tony Leung won the Best actor.

For me, the whole movie is ok. But certain parts are kinda messy and confusing for me. Especially the ending, i don't really prefer those habis-tak-habis feel kind of movie.

Overall the movie is ok, the story is simple but too much celebrities make a mess. The story keep on showing these various artist instead of their act. I kinda like Bernice Liu (廖碧兒) & Joyce Cheng (鄭欣宜) performance. Bernice's character is very funny with her bulky bodyshape and her big teeth sticking out from her mouth; whereas Joyce took over the character which her mother (Lydia Sum) has acted before in 1973.

The movie is not bad, story line is kinda strong and the actors and actresses are good. Donnie and Wu Chun is definitely hot but Qi Yu Wu the singaporean actor doesn't really have the chance to shine. Kate Tsui definitely over shine Vicki Zhao with her boodylicious :)
