Dante Lam
P&I - Director Bio
Dante Lam is a multi-award winning director, acknowledged frequently at the Hong Kong Film Awards. Since co-directing Beast Cops, which won Best Film and Best Director at the 1999 Hong Kong Film Awards, Lam has gone on to direct and co-write numerous box office successes, escalating with Operation Mekong, which in China amassed over $170 million at the box office.
Operation Mekong
Part of the Night Moves Strand
One the highest grossing films in China, this crime-action film is made with typical verve by Hong Kong action-expert Dante Lam. Packing his film with gunfights and spectacular chases, the story sees a crack team of Chinese special forces head into Thailand to hunt down a drug syndicate operating in Asia’s opium-filled Golden Triangle. Very loosely based on the response to the real-life 2011 Mekong River massacre, it brims with chaotic action including river firefights, jungle incursions, and a spectacular shootout in a shopping mall.
