 午夜的警队，报案中心接到匿名电话称一辆前线冲锋车被胁持。车内五位警员及武器装备成为贼人谈判筹码。事件惊动警队，不知是巧合还是意外，冲锋车内其中被劫持的警员，竟为现任行动副处长李文彬独子﹝彭于晏 饰﹞！

     适逢警队一哥外访未返，下任处长选举的两大热门：鹰派人物李文彬﹝梁家辉 饰﹞与年轻的警长刘杰辉﹝郭富城 饰﹞都开始大施拳脚。李立即指挥营救，并将此次行动代号为「寒战」。可贼人竟对警队内部一切了如指掌、洞悉先机，警队精英尽出，行动依然无功而返，处处受制，众同袍均开始 怀疑他的决策，推举刘杰辉接手整个行动，危急时刻，二虎相争，刘杰辉毫不示弱，不同与李的激进手法，他选择主动与贼人沟通，并答应交予贼人赎金。

      整个交收赎金过程中，刘设法令赎金留下线索，以便追查贼人位置。可道高一尺，魔高一丈，刘非但找不着贼人踪迹，还将巨额赎金失却，跟刘出生入死的同袍徐永基﹝钱嘉乐 饰﹞更在交收赎金过程中殉职，刘内疚不已，香港警队陷入前所未有的危急与威胁…整场行动令库房失却八千万现金，两位警员殉职。事件不但惊动了政府内部，也惊动了廉政公署，因廉署收到匿名人士举报，怀疑两位副处长，其中一人在此危急关头以权谋私 …香港的安全瞬时沦陷，警队及香港的管治漏洞被抖出，威胁直逼警队内部，矛头直指警队高层。 原来，香港被称为「最安全的城市」的原因，只是未遇上真正的敌人！

电影《寒战》讲述了一个发生在新时代背景下的高智商警匪故事。故事从一辆价值不菲的警察冲锋车在香港街头被劫持开始，整个香港都陷入到安全危机当中，警署内部每个人都疑似“内鬼”，而高层也因争权夺位而内斗不休。

Notes after movie :
- 看这部戏的动力，其实是因为郭富城。好久没有看他在电影幕，实力还不输当年的他，依然那么fit，那么精彩。
- 老实说，我不是很喜欢这部戏的故事情节。有时候我分不清楚到底是正在发生，还是再诉说回去之前发生的事情。
- 以那么多钱来换回四个警察的命，好像不是一贯的作风，最起码，在马来西亚就应该是自己自生自灭吧？哪里可能任由一个不知道是什么人来摆布一个高级警察呢？做戏就是那么做.....
- 钱嘉乐的牺牲是偶然的吗？我想了很久。如果钱嘉乐没有死的话，故事是不是就不用演下去了？故事是说，原来在狗警车的钱，是钱嘉乐劫掉，然后私吞来还债；就迎来 ICAC 的调查，才爆出一连串的谎言和秘密。编剧啊，你真的是用心良苦。
- 看见郭富城的富有父爱的脸，真的让人心动。可怜是他的老婆（马伊俐）和他的女儿在最后一场戏成了牺牲品.......

Skyfall 007 (13 PL)

Release Date: 01 November 2012
Language: English
Subtitle: Chinese / English
Genre: Action
Running Time: 2 Hour 23 Minutes
Director: Sam Mendes
Cast: Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Berenice Lim Malohe, Albert Finney


Synopsis: MI6 agents James Bond and Eve assist on a mission in Turkey to recover a computer hard drive stolen from a murdered MI6 agent that contains details of almost all undercover NATO agents in terrorist organisations. Bond and Eve chase the killer, mercenary Patrice, and attempt to recover the disk. During the chase, Bond is shot in the shoulder. While fighting Patrice, Bond is accidentally shot by Eve and is later considered "missing, presumed killed".

The head of MI6, M, comes under political pressure to retire during a meeting with the Intelligence and Security Committee Chairman, Gareth Mallory. On her return from the meeting, MI6 ishacked and an explosion occurs in the offices, killing eight MI6 employees. Bond, having used his supposed death to retire, learns of the attack and returns to London. Shrapnel taken from his earlier shoulder wound helps identify Patrice, and Bond tracks the mercenary to Shanghai.

Meanwhile, three NATO agents are killed after their identities are exposed, and further releases are threatened. After Patrice assassinates a target, he and Bond fight. Patrice falls to his death before Bond can learn of his employer. Searching Patrice's equipment, Bond finds a gambling chip which leads him to a casino in Macau. Sévérine, who Bond saw earlier during the assassination, warns him that he is about to be killed, but promises to help him if he will kill her employer. Bond beats his attackers and joins Sévérine on her boat. They travel to an island, where they are taken prisoner by the crew and delivered to Sévérine's employer, Raoul Silva. A former MI6 agent working under M, Silva holds her responsible for his torture and imprisonment by the Chinese. Silva kills Sévérine, but Bond overpowers his guards and captures Silva for extraction to the UK.

Back at MI6's underground headquarters Q attempts to decrypt Silva's laptop, but inadvertently enables it to hack the MI6 systems allowing Silva to escape into the London Undergroundtunnel system as part of his plan. Pursued by Bond, Silva disguises himself as a policeman and attacks M during a public inquiry into her handling of the stolen hard drive. Bond arrives to join Mallory and Eve in beating off Silva's attack, and M is hurried from the building by her aide, Bill Tanner. Bond drives M away from the scene and takes her to his empty and remote childhood home in Scotland: Skyfall Lodge. He instructs Q to leave an electronic trail for Silva to follow, a decision supported by Mallory.

At Skyfall, Bond and M are met by Kincade, the gamekeeper to the Bond family estate. The trio are only lightly armed, but they improvise a series of booby traps. When Silva's men arrive, Bond, M and Kincade fight off the first assault, although M is wounded. Silva arrives by helicopter^[9] with a second wave, and Bond sends M and Kincade off through a secret tunnel at the back of a priest hole to a chapel on the grounds. The second assault uses firepower from the helicopter, and Silva throws incendiary grenades into the building. Bond detonates two gas canisters with a stick of dynamite and retreats down the same tunnel as M and Kincade. The resulting blast causes the helicopter to crash, killing a number of Silva's men. Silva sees Kincade's torch beam, follows and arrives at a frozen lake ahead of Bond. Bond fights Silva's sole remaining follower, and the two fall through the ice, where Bond kills him. Silva meanwhile makes his way to the chapel and forces his gun into M's hand where he begs her to kill them both. Bond arrives and kills Silva, but M collapses from her earlier wound and dies. Her position as head of MI6 is taken by Mallory, while Eve—introducing herself as Eve Moneypenny—decides not to return to the field as an agent, but to work as M's secretary.

Notes after movie :
- Typical action movie. Hide and seek among people, driving motorcycle on the rooftop of the Grand Bazaar, nice and smooth journey throughout the chasing and the train argument was a clean cut and the shot making skyfall was just perfect....
- However, the stories was just in between ex-agent and present agent, as the ex-agent, Raoul Silva who was actually smart enough to getting in the controls at last was death, killed by James Bond with a old fashioned pen knife. Explosion was great, burning out over thousand of bricks.
- Watching just because of "James Bond 007" sake. 
- Unforgettable scene : When the Komodo Dragon just appear with its bitchy tongue and BITE the fat guy.... I hate reptiles....!!!

Notes after movie :
- No more late....hahaha.....
- 是因为我的张智霖，我最爱最爱的张智霖的电影，才有一点破例在三天看了两部电影。
- 老实说，看完了这部戏之后，才发觉到，根本和 synopsis 有一点的出入。故事到最后是讲说，其实，不只是阿宝有这种强硬的占有欲，而张泰林也是这样的一个人。其实有一段，在我看的时候，我完全不知道为什么要重复里面的片段，是要告诉观众什么信息呢？我可以说，故事到最后，没有什么逻辑。不是说不要了吗？不是说分手了吗？怎么不到几天的时间，变成了求婚呢？是不是就拿一番话，在街上的拿一番话，让泰林重新感觉到阿宝的重要呢？
- 里面慧欣（苟慧芸）是演张泰林的前任女友。她的出现，让泰林失去方寸，一方面是因为戴了啤酒帽而感到羞耻，另外，也应该是因为那时候，他还是深爱着慧欣。他回忆着自己和慧欣的过去，在厨房一起做蛋糕的时刻，是多么的甜蜜，多么的羡煞旁人.....！！当慧欣和阿宝碰面讲话，说出其实泰林其实也是一个天生爱情狂的时候，慧欣说了一句令我惊醒的话：是不是因为他不够爱你，才不会如此的对待你？
- 戏里面，说了很多很动听的话。例如 ：
泰林对阿宝说：每一次我看你的时候，总是要用三秒钟看清楚你的样子，是不是因为这样，所以我会爱上你？
阿宝对泰林说：你知道吗，当一个女人看着自己心爱的男人的时候，周围的东西，却看不清楚了。
这两句话是在很刻苦铭心.........
- 张智霖的戏，和李连杰的戏一样，一定支持到底。我最爱我的 darling 张智霖...........

Notes after movie :
- Late for movie, so I missed out the 1st part. (Yes, AGAIN.)
- 是因为从剧中知道了故事，电影里面的画面，台词，都有一种熟悉的感觉。回到一样的屋子，看到同样的面孔。令我觉得珍贵的是，隋棠把《谢安真》这一号人物，演得生动，就真的跟 “人妻” 脱离不了关系。
- 有一幕是说，当黎薇恩（朱芯怡）带着孩子 Oliver 见温瑞凡的时候，她的样子是充满着愧疚和可惜。当了妈妈的她，真的是有子万事足，不怕以后的日子多难过，只要孩子健健康康，她都会不怕辛苦的抚养他长大。他们的故事和恩怨，就在薇恩和安真道别时候，画上一个完美的句号。Oliver 这个小孩，当他转过头来，说一声 ：“爸爸，掰掰” 的时候，我的眼泪就掉了下来。这个画面真的很感人。
- 蓝天蔚这一号人物是个十全十美者。当这个角色，应该是很讨好的吧？因为我也真的希望，安真的幸福是托付给这个男人，而不是瑞凡。让宥胜当这个角色，虽然有一点样衰，但是毕竟样子不会难看到哪里去，就算了吧。看到他为了自己心爱的女人，让自己习惯上一些平时不做的；例如：吃甜点，带小孩，的确是加了分。
- 总结：是一部令人大笑大哭的电影，值得一看，也可能会买DVD来收藏。
