樂少擔任「和聯勝」辦事人的任期將屆,他有意向元老們建議取消不能連任之規矩。此時,東莞仔和飛機等新一代欲爭逐上位,被看好的Jimmy仔卻只想做生意,婉拒鄧伯欽點。樂少煽動東莞仔等人對付Jimmy仔,又向鄧伯下毒手。Jimmy仔從公安廳警察得知,唯有當上社團之首和愛國,才能在大陸做生意,遂與樂少反目爭位。Jimmy仔變得愈發心狠手辣,順利登上大位,但真正的代價才悄然浮現。

 

杜琪峯以銳利的角度,拍出人在權力與利慾薰心下,人性泯滅,加上外來勢力對在地傳統的干預,竟將建立百年的黑幫選舉制度瓦解。從爭奪龍頭棍到小圈子選舉,本片充滿不言而喻的象徵意義,拍出後九七香港的政治窘境。杜Sir率直敢言的作風、恢宏的視野,在香港電影圈實屬珍貴。

 

As a chairman's term nears its end, an attempt is made to abolish the no-reelection rule. Younger members vie for power, but a favored successor declines, preferring business profit. When it's revealed that only leadership and patriotism ensure business success in the mainland, allegiances shift. A ruthless power struggle ends with one man rising—yet a web of unwritten rules awaits. Through metaphors of contested leadership and closed-circle elections, To draws a portrait of post-1997 Hong Kong's political entrapment—boldly rendered with rare cinematic courage.
