We have been keeping an eye on this one for some time now. Hong Kong's most prominent action director, Dante Lam, has been upping the ante with each successive film over the past few years, and his latest, THE VIRAL FACTOR may yet prove to be one of Hong Kong Cinema's most ambitious projects to date.
Starring Jay Chou and Lam favourite Nicolas Tse as estranged brothers on opposite sides of the law, the action hopscotches from the Middle East to Malaysia and back to Hong Kong as Chou leads an anti-terrorist unit to track down Tse's character before he can unleash a deadly weaponised virus.
The film promises wall to wall mayhem and bloodshed, alongside a healthy dollop of family melodrama just to keep things grounded in reality. THE VIRAL FACTOR will be hitting Hong Kong screens in January and Emperor have finally released the full theatrical trailer for your enjoyment. Check it out below.

Looks like Dante Lam upped it again with this. The man is on a roll!
looks good
i like Dante Lam's movies.
i specially like his name because he reminds me of Dante from Dante's Inferno and Devil May Cry:)
Looks like a typical overblown HK action film. The days of Beast Cops may well be gone now.
