This confidently narrated tale of misfortune and coincidences is diverting to watch, at times even bringing to mind Johnnie To’s twisty capers, but is also far too convoluted to be truly captivating.

[Director Albert Mak] successfully navigates each character’s predicaments and parallel storytelling with a mix of gritty and quirky crime-comedy tones.

This comedy of errors is the funniest ticket of the Chinese New Year season.

An exhilarating, funny and gripping crime thriller.
