Review
by Kozo: |
Pretty
lousy movie has two parts and no real correlation. Part
one is a supposed mystery about a wacky reporter (Mark Cheng)
who investigates the life of a recent widow (Emily Kwan).
It seems she has three recently deceased husbands, so obviously
Mark suspects a scoop. Story two is a thirty minute fluff-fest
about some Hong Kong office girls who watch a boss' beach
house and meet the local boat boy (Patrick Tam of Beast
Cops). Uh, not to sound crass or anything, but did anyone
really want to see Emily Kwan Bo-Wai naked? With crap like
this in the theater, you'd think the film industry would
figure out why no one goes anymore. Go watch something else
- anything else. (Kozo 1998)
