The Trier of Fact is an upcoming Hong Kong action film directed by Tong Wai-hon and starring Louis Koo, Eddie Peng and Philip Keung. The film tells the story of two police officers who bond together despite their opposing methods, but their different approaches to law enforcement eventually leads to a showdown between the two.
The film went into pre-production in 2019.[1] After several years of delay, production for the film began on 9 August 2023.[2]
Police inspector Ben Kwok is assigned to investigate and collect evidence against the Narcotics Bureau inspector Car Che, who's suspected of working with the triads. However, during his task, Ben bonds with Car while working together and sharing the same beliefs in justice. On the surface, it appears that Car used criminals to bring down a drug kingpin, but Ben discovers that Car actually used the drug sweep operation to save his mentor from being blackmailed. Even though Car's actions were done to protect the entire Hong Kong Police Force, Ben must also stay true upholding the law and justice. This leads to a showdown between these two men and their different methods of justice.
