Isabella (伊莎貝拉) is a 2006 film out of Hong Kong. The film stars Chapman To and Isabella Leung. Supporting characters include JJ Jia and Anthony Wong. Although this is a Hong Kong film, the story takes place entirely in Macau.
The film is set in pre-handover Macau. The police are cracking down on their rogue officers and sending them to jail. Chapman To is one of those rogue cops. One day, Isabella shows up and announces that she is his daughter. The two start a get to know each other. Along the way, Chapman is trying to avoid being the lone fall guy for these rogue cops.
The movie was slow, but quite entertaining. Isabella Leung became quite famous after this movie for good reason. Leung has since exited the film industry after marrying rich. Chapman also makes a good turn as a conflicted rogue cop and unsure father.
