Yes, much better than the first film. Tighter storytelling, more action, more suspense...

Yep... Heh, I read some of these other reviewers and they wax so poetic, some really love to 'hear' themselves talk... : )I'll just give it straight and plain. This film is indeed much more engaging and much better put together than the first one. I also reviewed the first one and the thing that took away from what was really a very good idea in that movie is I felt the long build up from the beginning included too much slow moving 'Drama' Whereas this one hits you right out of the gate with punch and power.There is no need to see the first film before this one since the story and characters are completely different. The only reason it is entitled as 'OVERHEARD 2' is that the people behind the camera are the same ones that brought you the other movie. And I believe a couple of the same actors are in this one, but in quite different roles. And, it also deals with financial misdeeds and surveillance like the first one.Very well written, directed, and well paced. All the actors do a great job and I feel the story really ratchets up the tension and builds to an excellent and somewhat moving ending.I would definitely recommend this one to anyone who enjoys well made Financial Action/Thrillers from China. This is indeed one of the better ones!

Kenneth Tsang gone but will never be forgotten

Let me start off by saying this is by far one of the greatest Hong Kong movies made after 2010 might be I'm a bit biased and sentimental about this movie but yet after the original releases 10 years later rewatching it was still a joy

The reason I gave it the higher rating is because the director or casting director have done a real great job assembling one of the top acting stars as the supporting cast making it my favourite cast group of all time.. we have Kong Ngai, Samuel Kwok, Lok Ying Kwan and veteran actor Kenneth Tsang who is the main villain and he did a great job for it earning him a nomination for best supporting actor that year.. it is such a nostalgia feeling for me watching this movie..

The story line is perfect too continuation on the first about stock market yet keep it simplified for us the layman to understand the plot..

Watch it or better still rewatched it.
