The biggest box-office hit of its time in New Zealand, it launched Donaldson's career. The 2012 action adventure game Sleeping Dogs from United Front Games and Square Enix is getting a movie adaptation and is currently in development according. The movie resembles " Z" and " The Battle of Algiers" in the way it combines ideology with fiercely-paced action. Donaldson uses precise details of Hitler's takeover of Germany and plugs them into the New Zealand setting, and then he gives us a hero who wants to sit the fight out and is publicized by the government into being a symbol of opposition.Īmerican troops are sent in to help the New Zealanders put down the "rebellion," and the rebels conduct a running guerilla battle against them. Released in 2012, Sleeping Dogs sees players controlling Wei Shen, an undercover Hong Kong cop infiltrating the Triad through a combination of hand-to-hand combat, gunplay, and parkour. The film adaptation of Sleeping Dogs was announced last year, with Donnie Yen set to play the leading role - Wei Shen in the game. Roger Donaldson's "Sleeping Dogs," from New Zealand, is a very well made and acted movie about a time in the near future when New Zealand goes into a state of martial law, and underground groups form to fight against the dictatorship. Donnie Yen confirms the adaptation on Instagram.
