The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
The film follows three ex-convicts who rob a jewelry store and kill a police officer. Two detectives with opposite methods clash while hunting them and later investigate a hitman hired to kill a drug lord.

What happens
《暗渠》（），是1983年邵氏出品的一部香港警匪動作片，由藍乃才執導，苗僑偉、羅莽、白彪、王戎、陳佩茜等主演。本片榮獲第28屆亞洲影展最佳剪接。 王光泰（黃栢文 飾）、阿龍（龍天生 飾）與無腦（樓南光 飾）於獄中相識，三人出獄後重施故技，購得槍技打劫珠寶公司。警隊接獲綫報，偵緝警長趙敬才（羅莽 飾）受命帶隊圍捕，拒捕的王光泰鳴搶擊斃一名警員，三人逃脫。行動後，敬才被上司指責處事魯莽，遂改派督察邱正明（苗僑偉 飾）接手案件。二人以不同的辦案作風開展工作，正明盡一切可能遵守法律規定，而敬才則傾向不擇手段地完成偵緝工作，這致使雙方磨擦日多。 來自泰國的職業殺手利子健（白彪 飾）受雇來港狙殺殷商徐文（王戎 飾），豈料行動時卻誤中副車，僅殺死徐文之助手曾財（李海生 飾）。敬才與正明合作查辦，查得徐文實為大毒梟，因毒品交易被殺手追殺。 珠寶行三劫匪以為風聲已過，再出山犯案。敬才與正明率隊誘捕，爆發搶戰，三匪戰死。正明在行動中險告殉職，幸得敬才相救，二人冰釋前嫌，合作無間。 另一邊廂，徐文迫出子健現身，於一貨倉決一死戰。警方接獲線報，即派正明與敬才出發阻止黑幫火併…… (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
