Behind the Shadows movie review: Louis Koo plays detective in Malaysia-set murder thriller
3/5 stars Louis Koo Tin-lok, the Hong Kong film industry's most prolific star and arguably its most influential investor too, puts his signature blend of deadpan charisma and dramatic intensity to fine use in Behind the Shadows, the first Malaysian production of his company One Cool Film. A character-driven detective thriller that shows a fascination with cheating wives and jilted husbands, the film sees Koo play a hardbitten private investigator who, while running away from his own marriage, must track down a serial killer who seems to bear a grudge against unfaithful women. Life has not gone the way he would have liked for Au Yeung Wai-yip (Koo), a Hong Kong detective who believes he threw away a successful career when he moved to Malaysia to marry Kuan Weng-sam (Chrissie Chau Sau-na), a Malaysian-Chinese woman he met years earlier in Hong Kong. Play Now resigned to handling unremarkable cases that often involve adultery, Au Yeung is nonetheless shocked when a travel agency boss shows up at his office one day and commissions him to look into the personal life of Kuan, who the client says is his girlfriend of three months. This new development in his ongoing midlife crisis distracts Au Yeung from a missing-person case at the worst possible moment. The consequences prove to be dire when the woman he has been tailing becomes the latest casualty in a series of grisly murders that are plaguing a town.

Louis Koo's production company warns the public against scam
28 May - Louis Koo's One Cool Film Production has recently issued a stern warning to remind the public not to be deceived by con artists impersonating the company to commit online financial fraud. In a statement released on their social media account, the production company made three key points, saying that they have never launched any public-facing film or TV investment platform nor have they authorised a third-party to conduct any form of fundraising and investment promotion. It also called fraud against any text messaging group, websites or investment schemes claiming to be associated with their brand, and that they reserve the right to take legal action against anyone misusing its name and trademarks. The statement came after One Cool Film Production received reports about unknown individuals claiming to represent them or misusing their name to promote a so-called "film and television project investment platform". These scammers reportedly conducted their illegal activity via WeChat to lure the public into giving them their money. (Photo Source: Louis Koo IG, One Cool Film IG)
