Crisis Negotiators (Chinese: 談判專家) is a 2024 Hong Kong crime film directed by Herman Yau and produced by Andy Lau.

It is a remake of the 1998 American film The Negotiator, with Sean Lau and Francis Ng leading as police negotiators based on Samuel L. Jackson's Danny Roman and Kevin Spacey's Chris Sabian, along with an ensemble cast including Michael Miu, Philip Keung, Kent Cheng, Michael Chow, Chu Pak Him, Cherry Ngan, Yeung Wai Lun, Kenneth Lo and Timmy Hung.

Although Tse manages to secure the release of the hostages, the couple is devastated upon realizing they will not be able to see their son again and detonate the LPG, committing suicide.

Feeling guilty for not being able to save the couple, Tse resigns and becomes a social worker, hoping to help the needy before they reach dire situations.

[10][11] Director Herman Yau had initially rejected the offer to helm the remake, before agreeing to direct the adaptation on his second invitation.

[12] The film entered pre-production in April 2023, with Yau confirmed as the director (and later also taking on screenwriting duties), and Sean Lau, Francis Ng, and Michael Miu cast in the lead roles.

[13] Yau wrote the screenplay closely following the original film, and emphasized the project as a remake in the marketing, describing his motive as making good use of the licensing fee.

[12] Yau set the story prior to the 1997 Hong Kong handover, as the film's plot involved police scandals.

[12] He also rewrote the opening scene with inspirations from the Kwok Ah-nui incident, in order to enhance the film's relevance to social issues in Hong Kong.

[16] Location filming occurred in Ho Man Tin in June,[17] during which Lau was infected with COVID-19, leading to a pause in production for several days.

[26] Siu Yu of am730 also noted that while the film features strong lead performances from Sean Lau and Francis Ng and a well-executed localization of the opening, it ultimately amounts to a Cantonese retelling of the original and the decision to deviate from the established ending is puzzling.

[27] Wong Man of Va Kio Daily offered a rather positive review, highlighting that although the remake does not quite measure up to the original, the film's dramatic storytelling, solid action sequences, and thought-provoking exploration of police corruption are commendable.
