Plot
During British rule, Hong Kong once was under a period of darkness. At the time, police corruption took place almost everyday, in the decade between 1963 and 1973 alone, the Hong Kong police corruption amounted to 10 billion at the time, roughly equivalent to 500 billion in 2009!
The head of this empire of corruption was the Hong Kong Island Chinese chief inspector Brother Lak. Every time Brother Lak was unable to solve a case, he would order his subordinate Fire Kirin to find a scapegoat to take the blame. Somehow, Fire Kirin arrested university student Han Chi Bong and wanted him to admit to several dozen crimes including theft, indecent assault and battery. Fortunately Bong's mother got rent collector Pig Grease Cake to force Fire Kiri to release him...

All in all, I Corrupt All Cops is most likely Wong Jing’s most ambitious film to date and not to mention, it is probably one of his better films for the last decade. While it doesn’t exactly take much to derail the likes of Wise Guys Never Dies and Beauty and the 7 Beast, ICAC is still an achievement and a rare shine of light for a rather subdued year of Hong Kong cinema. So am I going crazy, by praising Wong Jing? The answer is yes and no. Basically, I am happy as long as Wong Jing keeps directing along the line of these films, and create a face off warning of ever appearing in front of the camera again … (Neo 2009)
I rate it 8/10
