But Lam is double-crossed by his CIA contact, Chinese-American agent Owen (Richie Ren), who drugs Lam and takes off with the plates. Lam steals them from a lockup in Central, and manages to escape with a pack of suit-clad baddies AND cat burglar JJ (Shu Qi) on his tail. His latest target: "The Avenger", a set of flawless counterfeiting plates created by Middle Eastern interests as a way of sticking it to the United States. Lam is essentially a secret agent who possesses free reign to engage in whatever law enforcement-or chaos-creating undercover activity-that he chooses. Director Jingle Ma, whose last film was the egregious Silver Hawk, brings back Tony Leung Chiu-Wai as Lam, the toughest Chinese private eye in Tokyo, and a secret member of the Japanese Security Bureau. Regardless, they made one anyway: Seoul Raiders. It's been five years since Tokyo Raiders was a Lunar New Year hit, and nobody was really clamoring for a sequel. Jingle Ma directs this action-packed sequel to Tokyo Raiders that centers on Lam, a Japanese special agent who teams up with a beautiful thief to stake his claim on a set of plates that make counterfeit American dollars.
