Directors Andrew Lau and Alan Mak and producer Felix Chong, the team behind the remarkably popular Infernal Affairs and Initial D, re-unite to offer Confession of Pain. Mak and Lau once again collaborate with Tony Leung Chiu Wai who stretched his acting prowess to portray a subtle and calculating character. Heartthrob Takeshi Kaneshiro, bringing to live a drunken detective, pairs with the sexy Shu Qi, and rising Mainland actress/director Xu Jinglei ( Letter from an Unknown Woman) plays Tony Leung’s wife in the film.

Confession of Pain begins with a beautiful sequence of Hong Kong’s night scene as viewers follow Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro dashing through Hong Kong’s urban areas.

The film devoted more efforts into articulating a Hong Kong story rather than merely creating suspense, which is abundant in Hong Kong’s recent wave of cop thrillers. The story starts in 2003 when inspector Bong (Takeshi Kaneshiro) discovers his girlfriend (Emme Wong) has committed suicide. He turns to alcohol for relief and resigns from his job to work as a private detective. Three years later, his old partner Hei (Tony Leung), now a rising star in the police force, learns that his billionaire father-in-law has been ruthlessly murdered. Hei’s wife Susan (Xu Jinglei), refusing to believe in the police’s version of her father’s case, enlists Bong’s support to uncover the truth…
