Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This is a love romance, action comedy starring Shu Qi, Andy On, and Simon Yam. Hong Kong police officer Grace (Shu Qi) decides to tag along with her actress friend Joey (Isabel Chan) to Malaysia. Joey doing a location shooting, and Grace thinking she's there to have a relaxing vacation. At the resort Grace meets Alex ( Andy On ) who she comes close with. He's wearing the same suit as a man of her dreams. She thinks he's an ordinary guy, but he's actually on a secret assignment to track down a stolen military hardware. Grace and Joey is mistaken as possible buyers for the hardware by Alex and his supervisor Teddy (Shiu Hung Hui). Poon (Simon Yam) is the seller of the hardware. Alex and Teddy plants a hidden camera in Grace and Joey's hotel room to monitor them. Not knowing, Grace talks about the man of her dreams while Alex monitors the conversation. Action is tempered with comedy as Simon Yam does a superb job of adding comedic touch to his moves. Yam, and On converge towards the end to form the final action showdown.Asides from the main plot, this movie has many subplot of comedy, romance, and unexpected plot of most characters having double identity that makes this movie worth seeing.The movie is shot mostly on location at a resort in Malaysia's Kota Kinabalu and it's beautiful. This movie will probably make you want to visit Kota Kinabalu. The scenery in this movie is that beautiful.

Given a leave of absence after killing a criminal in the line of duty, undercover cop Grace (Qi) takes a trip to a beautiful Malaysian resort with her friend Joey (Chan). Joey is a model and shooting a commercial, but the trip is also a chance for Grace to get away from a pair of overbearing and overly competitive beaus.Unfortunately, these lovely ladies are soon embroiled in an arms smuggling deal between Joey's slimy agent Bobby (Lam) and smooth criminal Poon (Yam) and his colourful moll. A pair of bounty hunters, Alex (On) and his boss (Hui) suspect the girls of being involved in the deal and - as they clearly know what kind of film they're in - set up hidden cameras in their suite to keep an eye on them.Highjinks ensue, and I for one enjoyed pretty much every minute. This flick knows it's silly and makes no pretence otherwise.The best thing about this movie, other than a chance to slaver over Shu Qi, is Simon Yam's over-the-top act as the twinkle-toed villain. Yam is always good value when he's allowed to climb the walls, and here he's practically dancing on the ceiling.There are also a couple of impressive action set pieces - including a Bond-style jet-ski chase, which may go some way to reminding you you're watching a Ringo Lam film.The final fight scene goes too far over the top in terms of slapstick comedy, but if you've been enjoying the flick up to that point, you'll probably forgive it.This is a nice change if - like me - you've watched more than enough grimy cop thrillers and mafia nastiness. It's a bright, fun movie that should put you in a good mood for the rest of the day.

Having been disappointed with Shu Qi's performances on more than one occasion, although always conventionally admiring her looks, I went into this film with lowest of expectations, wanting just a painless ride through entertainment with as little cheesiness as possible. Note, that's something I rarely indulge myself with, especially when wandering in the 2K hit-or-miss HK cinema.Although for the most part I was entertained, I was surprised with how the main cast of Shu Qi and Andy On didn't up their comedic delivery to match the oddness of Simon Yam or even Lam Suet. Perhaps their characters weren't designed to be silly or become flashbacks of what Jackie Chan could have been apart of with a random Asian cinema temptress 10 or 15 years ago. Nonetheless their characters stay true to their roles as much as possible, even if their roles and the plot have little chemistry and nuances implanted.I tend not to hold directors in jeopardy for trying something different each or seldom time but surprisingly I got through this film with an ease, not encountering any poor visuals or humiliating characters and especially not feeling as if the wacky comedy was supernaturally forced like it is with Wong Jing.Watch this if you're looking for a harmlessly slaphappy comedy with no strings or hooks attached and just hope you don't end up like me, forgetting what the story was about 2 weeks later.

This aint a typical Ringo Lam's crime/thriller movie. Nonetheless, this movie is entertaining as it is packed with action and jokes that work. Shu Qi is fine but Simon Yam and Chapman To certainly steal the show.
