Police procedurals rarely commit to violence with the bluntness Fight Against Evil 2 does, and that bluntness is the point: this 2023 Chinese crime drama follows an officer determined to dismantle a criminal network protected by its own reach.
What is Fight Against Evil 2 about?
Li Hongqi, an officer known for his rigid sense of right and wrong, stumbles onto a local exploitation ring while working an unrelated case and pulls at that thread until it exposes a wider group of enforcers who use drugs to control and intimidate women. Rather than resolve the case in a single raid, the film tracks how the investigation escalates as the suspects push back against police attention, forcing Li Hongqi into direct confrontation with people who assumed they were untouchable. Director Qin Pengfei frames the film as a straightforward genre piece, built on grounded action beats and a clear moral line rather than ambiguity.
About the cast
