Playing an asthmatic, diabetic Beijing street cop dedicated to busting con artists, journalist-turned-actor Zhang Huiling is the heart of this run-and-gun style film that follows him through several cases—from a family who throw their kids in front of cars to extort money from the drivers, to a low level husband-and-wife money laundering scheme—set on the mean streets of Beijing.
