Plot

[edit]

In 2004, triad member Jizo was caught dealing drugs in his night club. His boss, Yu Nam, punishes Jizo by ordering his compatriot Yu Shun-tin to cut off his fingers and expel him from the organisation. Yu, who witnessed his father being consumed by drug addiction during childhood and abhors drugs as deadly foes, eventually decides to resign from the Triad and live a straight life.

It is now 2019 and Yu has become a billionaire tycoon and philanthropist known as the "Finance Whiz", after meeting lawyer Michelle, who becomes Yu's wife and business partner. Meanwhile, Jizo is now one of the biggest drug lords in the Hong Kong underworld. Yu discovers that he actually has a long-lost son with his recently deceased ex-girlfriend, May. He travels to the Philippines to find his son, only to witness him commit suicide due to the effects from a drug overdose. After returning, Yu vows to destroy the drug trade in Hong Kong. Using his wealth and former triad connections, he orders several hits and coordinates a chain of dog-eat-dog events which shocks the whole drug trade, putting the players on high alert. Police chief inspector Lam Ching-fung and his team conduct drug raids involving Yu's men, and Afghani gangs. Lam discovers Yu is extracting revenge on the whole drug trade over the death of his son. Jizo, discovering that this act is being orchestrated by Yu, confronts his former brother, and publicly reveals to Inspector Lam that Yu has a history with the Triad.

Yu then offers a bounty of HK$100 million to kill the number one drug dealer in Hong Kong, which causes a stir in the criminal underworld and society at large. Because his bounty was not directed at a specific person, the police are unable to prosecute Yu. Fearing reprisal, Jizo voluntarily turns himself in to the police, and Inspector Lam is now responsible for protecting Jizo from the bounty instead of arresting him. Jizo also orders a hit on Yu, but the killer accidentally kills Michelle instead.

Enraged by the death of his wife, Yu launches an all-out attack on Jizo, eventually cornering him in a subway tunnel. Inspector Lam then arrives and they have a three-way shootout. Both Yu and Jizo are killed while Inspector Lam survives. Lam honours Yu's legacy by using the bounty to open a centre for children whose parents were drug addicts.

Andy Lau, who produced and starred in Shock Wave, joined the cast as well as served as the film's producer, receiving a reported salary of HK$40 million,[16][17] while Herman Yau, who directed Shock Wave, replaced Benny Chan as the director for the sequel.

Critical reception

[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, The White Storm 2: Drug Lords has an approval rating of 57% based on seven reviews, with an average rating of 5.3/10.[24]

Elizabeth Kerr of The Hollywood Reporter praises the film's finale action sequence and Louis Koo's performance for making up the shortcomings in narrative logic and editorial and describes the film as "a leaner entertainment-for-entertainment’s-sake exercise that's ideal for the summer season" compared to its predecessor.[25] Richard Kuipers of Variety praised the film's shootout and car stunt sequences staged by Gobi Ng with minimal special effects and other technical aspects such as Joe Chan's cinematography and Renee Wong's production design as well as performances by Andy Lau and Koo, referring to the former's as "charismatic" and the latter's as "enjoyable."[26] Derek Winnert of the London Film Critics' Circle gave the film a score of 3/4 stars and praises the stunt work and action choreography as "the real star of the movie" and the film's execution as "more original and impressive than the story, plotting, and characters."[27] Andrew Chan of Film Critics Circle of Australia gave the film a score of 7.5/10 on his blog, praising Lau's understated performance of displaying internal turmoil and Koo's impactful performance as the villain and concludes it as "an enjoyable ride with all that is happening in the reality of Hong Kong today."[28]

Edmund Lee of the South China Morning Post gave the film a score of 3/5 stars and praises the film's exhilarating action, particularly its finale, and describes the film as "thoroughly thrilling."[29] Gabriel Chong of Movie Xclusive gave the film a similar score of 3/5 and complements director Herman Yau for keeping the film's fast and frantic pace while keeping coherence was a "100-minute continuous action-packed sequence" but notes its flaws in character depth.[30] Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com gave the film a score of 2.5/4 stars and calls it "a satisfying dramatization of reluctant maneuvering" while also praising Lau and Koo's performances and their characters' clashing personalities as compelling forces that keep the film interesting.[31]

Leslie Felperin of The Guardian gave the film a score of 2/5 stars and praises the film's inventively staged action but notes the film's lack of subtlety in preaching the negativity of crime.[32] John Tan of The New Paper gave the film a score of 2/5 and praises Koo's entertaining performance but describes the action scenes as over the top and criticizes the film's editing.[33] Jamie Healy of Radio Times gave the film a similar score of 2/5 stars and notes director Yau's favouring of overemotion, which undermines the suspense and tension, but credits the stunt team for the film's impressive action.[34] David Aril of The Star notes the lack of consistent and compelling antagonism between the two main characters, but credits the action unit and stunt team who "outperform those on scripting duties."[35]
