Titles include ‘A Guilty Conscience’, ‘Everything Under Control’ and ‘Say I Do To Me’.
In Hong Kong, local films A Guilty Conscience and Everything Under Control are set to open tomorrow (January 21) on the eve of Chinese New Year while Donnie Yen’s Sakra and Kiwi Chow’s Say I Do To Me are also joining the festive race.
