The fallen bridge

Summary/Review: A bridge in the busy city of Huangque collapses in broad daylight. Investigators discover a skeleton of a kneeling man from cracked concretes and identify him its chief architect reported missing for years. In his pocket is a whistleblowing letter revealing corruption behind this fatally flawed construction. At the architect's funeral organized by his old friend, his mournful daughter Wen Xiaoyu gets approached by an underprivileged young man Meng Chao, who claims to have witnessed the murder of her father and is only willing to help without involving the police. Xiaoyu signs up for the dangerous secret joint investigation. The ugly truth they eventually unearth deeply infuriates Xiaoyu. She decides seeking justice from authorities won't satisfy her as much as taking vengeance into her own hands. But Chao's next move reminds her of what's worth living for after losing loved ones, faith, and freedom. The Fallen Bridge is director Li Yu's (Lost in Beijing, Buddha Mountain) latest and biggest box office hit to date. The crime drama starring Ma Sichun, Wang Junkai, and Fan Wei examines the role played by laws in an unevenly developed society, and the emotional struggles and moral challenges suffered by victims who revenge.
