What Price Honesty?
1981 · 89 MIN · IMDB 6.9 · DIR. Patrick Yuen Ho-Chuen
Overview
Police corruption is the theme of this brutal harbinger of the bleak "new wave" crime thriller. Pai Piao, Danny Lee, and "Venom" Sun Chien star as idealistic police school graduates who run afoul of such vicious, murderous depravity that the cop who is killed first could be considered the lucky one.
