The Prosecutor
Director: Donnie Yen
Actors: Donnie Yen, Julian Cheung, Francis Ng
PlotIn contemporary Hong Kong, a decorated prosecutor is renowned for his unwavering commitment to justice and his relentless pursuit of truth. When a high-profile businessman is murdered, the city is thrown into chaos, and intense media scrutiny follows. The prosecutor, known for his integrity and strong moral code, is assigned to the case. He quickly realizes that the crime scene is far more complex than it appears—corruption, power struggles, and hidden alliances lurk behind the glossy façade of the elite. As he pieces together a tangled web of evidence, he must confront influential figures, including a cunning defense lawyer and a veteran police inspector with questionable loyalties.
Pushed to his ethical limits by growing threats and mounting political pressure, the prosecutor’s fight for justice is tested on all sides. His family becomes endangered as he digs deeper, forcing him to weigh personal safety against professional duty. With time running out and the line between friend and foe blurring, he faces impossible choices that could destroy everything he has worked for. The investigation leads him into ever-darker corners of the legal system and the city's underworld, where every revelation threatens to upend the fragile balance of order. As the pursuit of truth becomes fraught with peril, he must decide how far he is willing to go—and what he is prepared to lose—in his quest for justice.

Physical Media Reviews
Solid legal-action drama with robust video, Dolby Atmos audio, sparse extras, and Donnie Yen’s dynamic presence elevate this engaging Blu-ray release.
Action and drama shine with strong Atmos audio and 4K visuals, but extras are limited to the Blu-ray; solid technical presentation overall.
