The Rookies
They got the best, she recruited the rest.
Directed by Alan Yuen Kam-Lun
Produced by JCE Movies, New Classics Media
A lighthearted action-comedy about mismatched amateurs thrust into international espionage, balancing thrills with humor and camaraderie.
Extreme sport lover Zhou Feng got involved in an international illegal trade by accident. So he had to follow an international special agent Bruce to Budapest. Together with a crappy police officer Miao Yan, a non-professional scientist Ding Shan and an unemployed doctor LV, they became an amateur unit. In company with the senior agent Bruce, these four rookies started a fight with the terrorists that was both thrilling and hilarious.
