Synopsis
Triangle (鐵三角, 2007) is a Hong Kong crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, built around a deliberate experiment: three directors — Johnnie To, Tsui Hark, and Ringo Lam — each took one act of a single story and shot it independently.
Three down-on-their-luck drinking buddies are tipped off by a mysterious old man in a bar: there's an ancient treasure buried under a high-security government building. Their half-baked scheme to grab it pulls them into a tangle of corrupt cops, a jealous wife with her own agenda, and street-level double-crosses. Louis Koo, Simon Yam, and Sun Honglei give the film three distinct centers of gravity.
The relay format is the real draw — the tonal shifts between segments are jarring in the way the directors seem to have intended, and watching three different filmmakers pick up the same thread is genuinely strange. Stream Triangle (2007) online on iFILM.
