The Stool Pigeon Blu-Ray Review



Synopsis: The Stool Pigeon examines the fine line between cops and their undercover informants. Police Detective Don Lee (Nick Leung) makes a bad call, causing a close informant to be injured. A year later, he must locate a new man to go undercover inside a jewel-theft ring. Ghost, Jr. (Nicholas Tse) doesn t want to do it, but Lee can offer deals and apply pressure that makes it hard to say no. Lee makes decisions based on the progress of his case, but not always at the benefit of his informant. Ghost must play a role, but can t decline the chance to do what s right. Best actor Nicholas Tse and Nick Cheung and Director Dante Lam renew the successful collaboration that brought audiences the multiple award-winner The Beast Stalker.

Review: The Stool Pigeon is an imported cop drama.  Thats the gyst of it.  If you are into imported asian film, as we are here at the Legion, then this one is nothing new.  There are no surprises and this honestly follows the long-established formula over there.  The actors are great and the plot is solid, so its still a good watch.  If you aren't used to this type of film, then check it out.  Many have never seen an asian import film that isn't based around the martial arts.  This is a great example of how they do action cinema over there!

Interest Range: Action, Drama
