L² Comment:
Well, i would have scored this film a bit higher if not because of Aarif's horrible cantonese. Ya, i know he's a mix, but so what? He is born in Hk, but still the way he talk, its like mumbling... luckily his later film was not like that, or else how would he ever success of being as a singer?

Love the part when Mr Law makes his wife a shoes, the love that shows on Simon's expression wins it all. I believe this help him more in winning the Best Actors in HK academy award. Though Sandra did not win the Best Actress, but her acting is undeniable. Hopefully more film will be coming up from this talented director who does not produce much :)
