Louis Koo vs. Daniel Wu in 'Triple Tap'
Hong Kong action film "Triple Tap", directed by Derek Yee, will hit Chinese mainland cinemas on June 30, Xkb.com.cn reports.
The film stars Louis Koo, Daniel Wu and Charlene Choi.
Fund manager Ken (Louis Koo) beats police officer Jerry Chang (Daniel Wu) in a shooting match. The two subsequently become friends. Ken soon comes across an armored van robbery. When he sees a policeman held hostage, he shoots and kills four of the robbers. One of the robbers escapes and the policeman survives. The case is handled by Jerry, Ken's new friend. Ken is found not guilty of any wrongdoing in court. Soon after, however, Ken is attacked by the escaped robber. Their confrontation reveals a very different background story and brings about a myriad of lies and traps and changes in relationships as Jerry and Ken try to outsmart each other.

Louis Koo plays the Vancouver-educated Ken, who has a complicated personality. The actor calls the role the most difficult of his career, and says he went traveling as soon as filming concluded to help him escape the character.
However, director Yee says the film won't be as heavy-hearted as the 2009 crime film "Overheard", because he has added a romantic subplot to the suspenseful thriller.
Hong Kong actress-singer Charlene Choi plays a nurse who is in love with Koo's character.
Asked about their intimate scenes in the movie, Koo explained, "We did kiss in the film. We were in love for many years. There are scenes in which we lie next to each other in bed, but that's it."
"Triple Tap" is co-produced by Beijing Polybona Film Distribution Co. Limited, Emperor Motion Pictures and Sil-Metropol Organization.
The film is a follow-up to the 2000 film "Double Tap", directed by Chi-Leung Law and starring the late Leslie Cheung, Alex Fong and Monica Chan. Derek Yee was the executive producer of that film.
