The Thieves - Kim Yoon-seok (2012) - Ponte No. 25, Macau

Popie (Lee Jung-jae) secretly makes a deal to return to Hong Kong on his own and strikes a deal with a localboat owner at Ponte No.25. It's also where the remainder of the gang meet up after their narrow escape from the authorities. If you are ever in Macau, this small structure is worth a visit because it is nearly eighty years old and built in an art deco style. Sadly, we only get to see the waterside area and not the building itself. The building with the rectangular panels in the background of the top image is the side wall of the modern Ponte 27 - longer followers may recall that was the pier used in Ferry to Hong Kong.

Looked at getting this film years ago. I still remember watching the trailer on iTunes Trailers. Sadly it never got a UK release.
