- Synopsis
A young down-on-his-luck guy fancies himself a total player, but the best job he can find is as an overnight clerk at a convenience store. His co-worker is a cute girl and you’re thinking romantic comedy, but then there’s a robbery, a gangster, a shoot-out, and by the time a neighbor is pulling out a homemade bomb, you realize that this darkly satirical film is all about the current situation in Hong Kong, where nothing makes sense and the heartless wipe their feet on the hopeless. An unpredictable, enjoyable, anarchy-fueled romp that aims for fun and hits its mark.
