Writer, director and screenwriter Chung Mong-hong delivers a wry comedy of manners, with the tropes and plot devices of noir and gangster films. A sadsack slacker and small-time crook (Na Dow) is tasked by a taciturn mob boss to traffic a package down south. Unable to find a proper means of transport, he is practically forced by ramshackle old cabbie Lao Xu (Hong Kong comedy legend Michael Hui) to be his fare for the cross-country journey. What ensues is a postmodern reinvention of the comedic double act as the pair of unsuspecting drug mules incessantly bicker over money, sharing strange anecdotes about the meaning of life as they suffer an endless run of bad luck largely due to Lao Xu’s chronically poor decision-making. Meanwhile, the southern gangsters they are driving towards are having a literal existential crisis of their own, in a bloody maelstrom of plastic-wrapped furniture, chainsaw-friendly motorbike helmets, and vicious dog-eat-dog betrayal.
