Sparrow (2008 film)

Sparrow (Chinese: 文雀; pinyin: Wen que; Cantonese Yale: Man4 jeuk3) is a 2008 Hong Kong caper film produced and directed by Johnnie To.

The film stars veteran Milkyway Image cast and crew alumni Simon Yam, Gordon Lam, Law Wing-cheung and Kenneth Cheung as a small gang of pickpockets, with each member being mysteriously approached by a beautiful Taiwanese woman (Kelly Lin) with a hidden agenda.

One day a dashing beauty, Chun-Lei (Kelly Lin), suddenly appears in Kei's viewfinder.

But behind Chun-lei's attractive facade lies a mysterious past and a mission to set herself free.

Director Johnnie To shot the film in Hong Kong over a three-year period.
