Sadly Over-hyped
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
You really have to check your intellect at the door for this one. Its the story of Tung, who recruits a bunch of rogues to wreak havoc in Hong Kong by stealing (hence the title of the film). A large part of the film is their preparation to do it. The film is so full of slapstick and crazy fighting you'll become dizzy. The cast is the best part: A very young Chingmy Yau, the ever reliable Eric Tsang and the always watchable Sandra Ng, amongst others. They try real hard and there are a few fun parts, but overall the film is just a crazy mesh of scenes. It gets a 5 due to it not being boring, but its just all over the map and, at times, illogical. So, if you like crazy comedy with a lot of fighting but little sense, this is your film.
