Project Gutenberg (Chinese title: 無雙, Wúshuāng; lit. "Unequalled") is a 2018 Hong Kong-Chinese action film. The film stars Aaron Kwok as Lee Man, a member of a counterfeiting ring interrogated by the Hong Kong Police Force as they attempt to track down the mysterious leader of the syndicate, only known as the Painter (Chow Yun-Fat). The film is told mostly as a series of flashbacks, recounting Lee's history with the Painter as the Hong Kong police in the present day use his accounts to find leads on him.
