Protégé (2007) 門徒 (Moon To)
SYNOPSIS:
One Night in Mongkok director Derek Yee takes a trip into the underworld with this crime
drama starring Andy Lau, Lewis Koo, Daniel Wu, and Anita Yuen
The story revolves around drug trafficking with Andy Lau as the major heroin dealer,
grooming his successor, Daniel Wu, to take over the business. The film, financed by
England, US, China, Hong Kong and Singapore is produced by Peter Chan.
Special agent Nick (Daniel Wu), is deep undercover in the heart of Asia’s lucrative crime
trade as he plays protégé to one of the key players in the game, “Banker” (Andy Lau). In
the eight years he has been infiltrating the underworld industry, Nick has amassed enough
evidence to indict Banker, but has been ordered to remain undercover and expose the
identity of the man behind Banker in order to bring down the entire organization.
However, as Nick becomes more trusted and embroiled with Banker’s crime family, he finds
himself corrupted by the easy money and his new found power. Unable to separate himself
from his undercover persona, he immerses himself into his role as a crime figure. In the
seedy underbelly of mob culture, where redemption comes at a price and the borders of
justice, loyalties and truth are constantly changing, Nick grapples with dangerous
choices and finds himself flirting with more than the devil. Following in the tradition
of films like Traffic, Protégé is a suspense-filled exploration of the complex
relationships and loyalties within the multilayered, international crime syndicates of
today.
