Yau Nai-Hoi, the screenwriter who has followed Johnnie To Kei-Fung for more than ten years, directed for the first time, using actors who are commonly used by Johnnie To, including Lam Suet, Eddie Cheung Siu-Fai, Maggie Shiu Mei-Kei, etc. Even the protagonists Tony Leung Ka-Fai and Simon Yam Tat-Wah are the combination of "Election" (2005) once again, and the only fresh face is the heroine Kate Tsui Tsz-Shan, who plays Ho Ka-Po, a rookie policewoman who has joined the police "paparazzi".(Criminal Intelligence Bureau). She follows the experienced "Dog-Head" Wong Man-Chin played by Simon Yam. The two go through fire and water, and Ho Ka-Po finally received the praise from "Pig Girl" to "Wolf Girl". The relationship between the two vaguely saw the shadows of Yau Nai-Hoi and Johnnie To.
The film takes the police "paparazzi" as the protagonist and tells the story of a group of policemen who hide in the crowd and follow the suspects. Therefore, Simon Yam wants to put away the handsome man from "PTU" (2003) who pretends to be a big belly uncle, and it is quite flattering to pretend to be stupid. In addition, a mentoring relationship between him and Ho Ka-Po makes it easy for the audience to get involved. Wong Man-Chin was attacked by the big thief Chan Chong-Shan, played by Tony Leung, who almost kills him, which is the climax of the film. Wong Man-Chin emphasized at the beginning that "stalking" is "Eye in the Sky" (Heaven has eyes). In the end, he was stabbed in the neck with scissors by Chan Chong-Shan, but he did not die.
However, after the heavy rain, Ho Ka-Po, who was sad and weeping, discovered Chan Chong-Shan's whereabouts. In the end, he died in the process of escaping, he was accidentally scratched by an iron hook on his neck and died. It can be said to be the point of the plot of "Heaven has eyes". Yan Nai-Hoi still has the usual "Johnnie To film" style in his handling. The sudden twist of the plot reverses the characters of the story that the audience is watching or reading, as well as the stimulation of the senses.
Because the film was produced by Sundream Motion Pictures, a subsidiary of Hong Kong Cable Television, Cable TV made a series of promotional interviews for the film, including the film's participation in the Venice Film Festival and the Hong Kong International Film Festival, as well as interviews with producer, director and actors, from which you can see Johnnie To let go of this time to give Yan Nai-Hoi the confidence to direct, of course, the final editing work should still be dominated by Johnnie To, It's a 100% "Johnnie To film".
