THE BULLET VANISHES (China/Hong Kong, 2012)
Directed by: Law Chi-leung
Starring: Lau Ching-wan, Nic Tse, Liu Kai-chi

This stylish, action-packed period thriller starring Hong Kong superstars Nick Tse and Lau Ching-wan pays homage to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as a 1930s-era detective duo investigate a series of strange murders in which “phantom bullets” seemingly vanish. The murders are committed in a bullet factory ruled by a vicious boss and henchman, who force a female worker suspected of stealing to play Russian roulette, with tragic results. Could the murders be the work of a vengeful ghost exacting revenge?

(NOTE: This is some low effort writing that looks like it was just lifted from the back of the video box. We usually make slightly more effort than this but maybe whoever was doing the blurbs this year had a family emergency and had to deal with their mother suddenly being possessed by the spirit of a 10,000 year old angry bog person from ancient Saxonia and writing an original and inspiring blurb that might make someone, you know, actually want to see the movie was just not a priority.)
