King of Triads is a 2010 Hong Kong crime action film, directed by Dennis Law and starring Tian-Lin Wang, Eddie Cheung, and Suet Lam. The film follows the story of triad boss Lok, who after being attacked and left for dead by his own associates, becomes determined to rebuild his empire and take revenge on those who betrayed him. The film opens with a scene in which Lok (Tian-Lin Wang) is attacked by one of his own associates and left for dead. With nearly all of his trusted followers gone, Lok is forced to start again from scratch. He begins to assemble a new gang, recruiting a former soldier named Bill (Yuen Biao) and a young up-and-comer named Jet (Lam Chi-chung). Lok's ultimate goal is to take revenge on his former allies and reclaim his position as the king of Hong Kong's criminal underworld.

As Lok begins to rebuild his empire, he finds himself increasingly at odds with a rival gang led by a man named Hung (Eddie Cheung). Despite initial attempts to make peace with Hung, the two groups eventually come to blows, leading to a violent and chaotic showdown on the streets of Hong Kong.

King of Triads is a film that revels in its non-stop action sequences and over-the-top violence. From the opening scene to the final moments, the film delivers a non-stop barrage of gunfights, explosions, and martial arts battles. The camera is always in motion, swooping and spinning around the characters as they fight and shoot their way through the city. The fight scenes are impressively choreographed, with some truly jaw-dropping stunts and acrobatics on display.

At the heart of the film is Tian-Lin Wang's performance as Lok. Wang plays the character with a quiet intensity, conveying an air of steely determination that makes him a compelling and sympathetic protagonist. Despite his brutal methods, Lok is a man with a strong sense of loyalty and honor, who will stop at nothing to protect his people and reclaim his position as the king of Hong Kong's criminal underworld.

Eddie Cheung also delivers an impressive performance as Hung, the ruthless rival gang leader who will do anything to maintain his power. Cheung plays the character with a cold, calculating menace, making him a formidable opponent for Lok and his crew.

The supporting cast of King of Triads is also impressive, with veteran Hong Kong actors like Yuen Biao and Suet Lam delivering solid performances. In particular, Lam stands out as the young up-and-comer Jet, bringing a sense of humor and energy to the film that helps balance out some of the more serious moments.

Overall, King of Triads is a highly entertaining action film that delivers exactly what it promises. The film is a no-holds-barred adrenaline rush from start to finish, with some truly impressive fight sequences and a strong central performance from Tian-Lin Wang.
