Hugh Chan

Fog of War (2025) throws you right into a world that’s just barely holding itself together. Hugh Chan leads the charge, playing a strategist who’s equal parts haunted genius and total disaster—yeah, the kind of character who looks like he hasn’t slept in weeks but somehow sees everything coming. The film’s set in the near future, where geopolitics have spun out of control and nobody trusts anyone. Think late-night news doomscrolling but with even more explosions. The story kicks off when Chan’s character is yanked out of quiet retirement (he’s got baggage, obviously) and dumped into a crisis that’s got nuclear disaster written all over it. Governments are playing chess with actual lives, and alliances shift faster than TikTok trends. There are double-crosses, secret agendas, and a whole lot of “wait, who’s side are you even on?” moments. What really slaps, though, is how the film doesn’t spoon-feed you answers. One minute you’re rooting for the team; the next, you’re questioning their every move. The tension’s thick enough to slice with a butter knife. Action scenes come outta nowhere, but there’s a brainy, paranoid vibe too—like you’re stuck in an endless group chat where everyone’s lying. At its core, Fog of War isn’t just about bombs and bullets. It digs into trust, guilt, and that gnawing feeling that nobody’s ever giving you the full story. By the end, you’re left questioning everything—pretty much the perfect movie for anyone who thinks they’ve got world affairs all figured out.
