THE SPARRING PARTNER 正義迴廊
2022 | 2hr 18min | In Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles | Dir Ho Cheuk-Tin
Description
Based on actual events: in 2013, Henry Cheung collaborated with a friend to murder and dismember his parents. While the case may have looked simple on the surface, the truth proved to be increasingly difficult to untangle. As the defendants take on the distinct personas of the scheming genius and the naive, simple-minded victim of circumstances in court, the nine jury members must wrestle with their own conceptions of right and wrong as two men’s lives lay in the balance.
