bleeding steel (2017)

Hospital doctors call to inform Hong Kong Special Agent Lin Dong that his daughter Xixi (who suffers from leukemia) is in critical condition. He speeds over to the hospital, but on the way, co-worker Xiao Su calls him that a critical witness is in danger. Agent Lin stops right outside the hospital, pauses, and turns back to protect the critical witness Dr. James.

Dr. James injects himself with a chemical substance stored with a mechanical heart right before the police bursts in to escort him away. They are ambushed by men with exotic black armor and hightech weaponry led by a monstrous-looking man named Andrew, and almost all in the team are killed. Xixi meanwhile dies at hospital. Before Andrew can claim Dr. James, Lin Dong manages to ram him against an oil tank using his car. When Andrew proves uncannily resistant to both the car's impact and the bullets Ling Dong fires against him, Lin Dong shoots the oil tank instead, causing a huge explosion. Both Lin Dong and Andrew are later shown to have survived, although Andrew's injuries have him turned into a cyborg.

13 years later in Sydney, Australia, author Rick Rogers has recently released a book titled Bleeding Steel about a girl with a mechanical heart. A man named Li Sen, disguised as a prostitute, pays a visit to Rogers at his hotel, drugs him and downloads information from his computer. Simultaneously, a black-clad woman and two men with black armor suits attack the building and torture Rogers to reveal the source of his inspiration for the book, while Li Sen hides in the suite's bathtub. The intruders are attacked by Lin Dong, who also tries to find out the same answer. Rogers is killed by the Woman, and the arriving police forces everyone to retreat.

When briefed about the failed operation, Andrew identifies Lin Dong and Li Sen, and sends the Woman after the latter, but Li Sen has already fled. Acting upon the data they purloined from Rogers, Li Sen and Lin Dong separately begin to tail Nancy, a young girl who is plagued by strange nightmares about a laboratory where strange experiments were conducted. In order to deal with them, she has been visiting a spiritualist, who is the source of Roger's manuscript. She is tracked down by the Woman in Black, but rescued and taken to safety by Lin Dong and Li Sen's combined efforts.

Subsequently, Nancy is revealed to be Xixi, resurrected by the efforts of Dr. James, who was working on genetic enhancements of human beings, specifically regeneration, to create immortal bioroid soldiers. James fitted Xixi with a mechanical heart and a biogenetic blood substitute which enhanced her regenerative abilities; but her temporary death left her amnesic, whereupon she was put into an orphanage for her safety, while Lin Dong and his old unit secretly watched over her. Her nightmares stem from James' memories which imprinted themselves on the compound the doctor had injected himself with, and his blood was afterwards used in her resurrection. Andrew, a former Special Forces soldier, was another test subject who infiltrated the project in the interest of a prominent Korean arms dealer to market the bioroids. However, the artificial genome failed on Andrew, slowly consuming him from within. James himself died soon after his operation on Xixi, making her the sole successful ward of his achievements.

Lin Dong takes Nancy and Li Sen to his house, where he locks the young man in his high-security vault, and pays a visit to the spiritualist, whom he finds murdered. Nancy recovers and runs away to take a flight back to James' abandoned home, where she recovers both her old memories of her father and a bank vault key hidden by James. Following her, Lin Dong reunites with Xiao Su, but before he can reach Nancy, she is kidnapped by the Woman in Black and brought separately to Andrew's airborne laboratory. Rejoined by Li Sen, who has managed to free himself, they proceed to the bank vault, where the Woman, while retrieving a videocam from the vault, was trapped and incapacitated by Lin's old unit. Checking the camera's contents, which detail Andrew's bioroid conversion, Lin and Xiao Su surmise that he needs both this information and Nancy's altered genome to bestow the regenerative effect upon himself.

Onboard the laboratory plane, Andrew proceeds to extricate Nancy's blood and inject it into himself to restore his body. Lin Dong, Xiao Su and Li Sen infiltrate the craft but are thwarted by an impenetrable security screen. A scuffle with Andrew's henchmen forces the villain to join the fight before the transfusion is completed, which gives Nancy sufficient time to fully regenerate and come to her father's aid. Lin and his allies cast Andrew into the craft's reactor core, which overloads and destroys the lab. Li Sen is caught in the explosion; Xiao Su and Nancy manage to escape by parachute, but before he can join them, Lin Dong is attacked by Andrew. However, because Andrew has accidentally injected Lin Dong with the enhanced blood during their fight, Lin Dong gains enough power to deprive Andrew of his heart, killing him.

In the aftermath, as Lin Dong, Nancy and Xia Su spend time together as a family, Lin learns from his colleague that Li Sen was the son of the arms dealer who sought to recover James' achievements and take revenge on Andrew for the murder of his family thirteen years ago. He also was a fellow mate of Nancy/Xixi at the orphanage, and had acted out of genuine affection for her. At the same time, Li Sen is shown to have survived and now offering the camcorder tape to the most interested buyer.
