Shock Wave 2
The film is available on demand as of Tuesday, November 2, 2021, on Xfinity, Spectrum, Cox, and other cable systems, as well as DirecTV, Dish Network, AT&T U-Verse, and Sling TV.
From its opening moments, director Herman Yau's thriller snaps, crackles, and pops, immediately dialing the temperature up to the boiling point and beyond.
As established in Shock Wave (2017), Poon Shing Fung (Andy Lau) is an explosives expert with the Hong Kong police, which means that he spends 24 hours per day defusing bombs. The city has gone absolutely bomb-mad, for some unexplained reason, but nobody knows why and, frankly, nobody cares, because all that matters is that bombs are threatening to go off every day.
Thus, Poon Shing Fung and his squad, notably his best mate Tung Cheuk Man (Sean Lau, aka Lau Ching Wan), spend every day defusing bombs, until one fateful night, they miss one, and it explodes, costing Poon his leg. Undeterred, Poon spends months in rehabilitation and is determined to return to active duty, but his bosses aren't having it, so Poon isn't having them -- it's either active duty or he'll quit.
