The Missing Gun
Small-town Chinese policeman Ma Shan (Jiang Wen) wakes up the morning after his cousin's wedding to discover that his gun - a rare, state-issued firearm - has been stolen. Facing a three-year prison term, Ma Shan begins a relentless search to track it down. Among the people he encounters on his frantic mission are a powerful businessman, a former lover, and a liquor bootlegger, but when the gun is linked to a murder, the stakes get even higher. Jiang Wen and Ning Jing star in this gripping story reminiscent of Akira Kurosawa's "Stray Dog".
