“The Eighth Suspect” is based on a real case: the largest armed banknote robbery in the history of the People’s Republic of China. Directed by Li Zijun and written by Zhou Wenru, the film stars Dapeng and Lin Jiadong, supported by Zhang Songwen, Qi Xi, and Sun Yang. It is set to be released nationwide on September 9.
The film’s final trailer showcases the intense confrontation between the characters of Qi Xi and Dapeng, as the latter’s 21-year-old secrets are unveiled. Yang Fang’s supposedly peaceful life is shattered when she discovers evidence pointing to her husband’s involvement in the heinous crime. As she questions Chen Xinwen’s past, the truth behind their seemingly happy marriage begins to unravel. The trailer also introduces the “uninvited guest” policeman, Wang Shouyue, who becomes a key figure in the battle of wits between the police and the criminals. With Chen Xinwen’s stolen identity and his desperate attempts to clear his name, the movie presents an intriguing tale of survival and choices.
Additionally, the film’s ultimate poster offers audiences a glimpse into the intricacies of the plot. A mysterious man wearing a black mask stands out among the characters, suggesting a deeper connection to Chen Xinwen. Yang Fang’s tense posture and Chen Xinnian’s (played by Sun Yang) restrained presence further emphasize the intertwined fate of the characters. Meanwhile, the determined policemen, Wang Shouyue and He Lan (played by Zhang Songwen), reveal their unwavering commitment to solving the case and bringing justice to light.
