Election 2

 

aka: Triad Election
Hong Kong 2006, 92 minutes
Dir. Johnny To
In Cantonese , Mandarin with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Suspense/Crime / Gangsters

 

Aroview: Genre exponent Johnny To logically extends the gangland politics of his original film in this punchy, no-nonsense sequel concerning a fresh round of triad elections to determine control of the Hong Kong underground.

Having violently assumed power at the end of the first film, Godfather Lok (Lam) is now approaching the end of his term in power, with potential candidates Jimmy (Koo) and Jet (Cheung) vying aggressively for the soon-to-be vacated spot. Charged with To's now-familiar visual precision, this plays out seamlessly with events beforehand, making part one of the triad saga requisite viewing, if not back-to-back with its sequel.
