Two Thumbs Up
Following a 16 year stretch in a Malaysian prison Big F (Francis Ng) gathers his old crew together for one last big heist. Their brilliant (if a bit deranged) plan? Steal parts off of junker police vans, turn their minibus into a heist vehicle above the law, and rob mainland corpses stuffed with cash that are being transported over the border. Only two problems: they weren't the first to have this idea, and they are beginning to like being cops. Shoot outs, bicycle chases, kidnappings, bowling and cockroach infestations ensue. The cast is a who's who of Hong Kong genre actors, and prolific screenwriter Lau's directorial debut is stylish and fun. This is the type of film that made audiences fall in love with Hong Kong films in the first place.
