Simon Yam and Tony Leung Ka Fai square off in the cat-and-mouse police thriller Eye in the Sky, produced by Johnnie To’s Milkyway Image Films. Yam is Mike, head of the SU (Surveillance Unit), a dedicated unit of cops whose job is to follow, listen, and learn – but they must never engage their quarry. They’ve just taken on a new member, rookie cop Bo (former Miss Hong Kong Kate Tsui), and she receives a trial by fire when charismatic criminal Shan (Tony Leung Ka Fai) stages a daring daylight robbery. The SU immediately begins searching for Shan, using every resource at their disposal, from camera surveillance to smart card tracking to plain, old-fashioned legwork. But Shan is no ordinary criminal, and seems to be as smart as the cops on his trail. When the game escalates to life and death stakes, Bo becomes the only one who can track down Shan and bring him to justice.

Director Yau Nai Hoi is no stranger to Milkyway Image, having worked on the scripts for many of the company’s acclaimed hits, including Election, PTU, Running on Karma, and Needing You. Yau does mentor/producer Johnnie To proud with Eye in the Sky, giving the film a stylish feel as well as an ironic sense of humor that fans of Johnnie To should find familiar. What’s interesting about Eye in the Sky is how it takes a subject that doesn’t seem exciting – surveillance – and brings it to life through breathless pacing and a fine attention to detail. Co-starring Milkyway Image regulars Maggie Siu, Lam Suet, and Eddie Cheung, Eye in the Sky was featured at the Berlin and Udine Film Festivals, furthering the reputations of both Johnnie To and Milkyway Image as some of the finest creators of genre film working today.
