Nightfall

Nightfall (大追捕, 2012) — watch online on iFILM — is a Hong Kong crime thriller from director Roy Chow Hin-Yeung. A celebrated musician is found murdered shortly after Wong, convicted of raping and killing his daughter twenty years earlier, walks out of prison on early release. Inspector Lam takes the case.

Wong has maintained his innocence for two decades. The evidence points straight back at him. But Lam is too seasoned to treat the first answer as the final one. Simon Yam plays the aging, whiskey-worn detective who senses a pattern the official narrative refuses to accommodate. The film works as a tightly built procedural and as a slow accumulation toward an ending that reorders what came before. Stream Nightfall (2012) online on iFILM.
