YesAsia Editorial Description
The world of streetwise Hong Kong reporters gets a refreshing exploration in the entertaining and compelling drama Headlines. Popular singer Emil Chau is Sorrow, a veteran reporter who has long since lost his scruples thanks to years of digging in the tabloid trenches. But he begins to reexamine his ethics when rookie reporter Peter (Daniel Wu) is brought on board. Peter still believes in professional ethics, and though Sorrow initially scoffs at such youthful idealism, his righteous passions get reignited when he digs up a scoop that may damage the reputation of an old friend (Wayne Lai Yiu Cheung). Meanwhile, fellow reporter Joey (Maggie Cheung Ho Yee) gets involved with a young triad while trying to write his story, and Peter investigates the story of a young woman (Grace Yip) who's trying to raise her two young brothers alone. Ultimately, the three reporters begin to question their responsibilities. Are reporters more responsible to the reader's need to know, or to the subjects whose lives they're exposing? A thoughtful drama full of welcome human themes, Headlines is a surprising and engaging Hong Kong film.

漠視生命威脅,面對人間煉獄,新聞從業員,背負神聖使命,令採訪對象成為〝頭號人物〞!!
故事的三位主角同為一間報社港聞版記者,其中以阿苦資歷最深,他入行十多年,在排字房由低做起,為人不修邊幅,卻豐於採訪經驗。
另一位Joey,她在外國受過正統新聞訓練,加上漂亮、身材好,為人機靈,擅於利用天賦條件,對採訪無往而不利,入行五年,但己做出成績。最後一位是大學新聞系畢業的P仔,為人戇直,初出茅廬,是個實習記者。
三人對工作都充滿熱誠,唯因處事手法不同性格各異,故亦引起趣事和矛盾。

The three takes on a very different working perspective and working together sparks off skirmish as well as amusement......

Clever script
| It was clever how the three reporters experiences were woven together to form the theme and how they bonded at the end. Maggie Cheung has a likeable character in here--first time I've seen her in a movie. The actor who played Wai was pretty good, too. BTW, anyone know his name? |

Very good
| I thought this movie comes out to be very good, I'm surprised it didn't grasp a lot of attention in HK box office. This is even better than a lot of those stupid special effects, or high-budget movies. Daniel Wu's acting is very good. The TVB actress Maggie Cheung surprises me with her performance, glad that she's acting in movies now. She have a future. |

Its okay
| Considering that MANY recent films from Hong Kong have lacked quality, "Headlines" is a decent film. I would not say that this film is one of the best I have ever seen, but there is a great cast involved here. Emil Chow and Maggie Cheung do a superb job as the lead actors of this film! The only negative aspect of this film is that the story line wasn't too exciting as I would expect it to be if the film were talking about news reporting in such an exciting and vibrant city like Hong Kong. |
