Life Without Principle

Life Without Principle

Directed by Johnnie To, starring Lau Ching-wan, Richie Ren and Denise Ho.

The lives of three different people, a low level triad (Lau), a police inspector (Ren) and an investment banker (Ho), are the focus of this latest Hong Kong drama from Director Johnnie To. All three find themselves caught in morally murky situations that intertwine during the Greek financial crisis. The meat and potatoes of the film are how they handle their respective situations, and what, if anything, they learn from them. With an intriguing premise, an excellent director and a great cast, Life Without Principle is an engaging drama, and one of the best films of 2011.
