With ferocious action direction from Tung Wai (Bodyguards and Assassins, Saving General Yang), Operation Mekong is an explosive tale of comradeship and conquest.Elite Force: Operation Mekong will take the stage at EIFF on June 29 and July 2 before rolling out on VoD and iTunes the following day and with a DVD release slated for July 17.
