Snow White, Rewritten in a Minor Key
Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.

Anti-drug captain Tang Xudong succeeds in convincing Li Jun to be an informant with pay as Li Jun needs the money for his wife’s medical treatment, and thus begins his informant operation laden with danger. As things develop far beyond Tang's plan, it turns out that Li Jun has a bigger purpose.
