A lots of people must thought that this movie will shows a thousand of muscular guys topless, but seriously not really. The storyline is very very normal, its a bit similar to Golden Chicken 3, but slightly worse than that. Ivana continue to surprise me with her over-acting skill; its good to see Louis Koo reunion with Carmen Lee after so many years; the most surprising would be Nicholas Tse's character, which i think is the best and he shows improve in his acting as well.

 Story:

In Hong Kong, Cheng Lai-sheung works two jobs with the hope of earning enough money to buy her own apartment with a view of the Victoria Harbour. In mixed chronological order, we see scenes from Lai-sheung's past. In her childhood, her family and friends are evicted from their low-rent housing so that developers can build expensive flats. Later in life, she vows to buy her mother and father a new apartment, but is unable to fulfill her promise before her mother dies. When her father becomes ill, she begins searching in earnest for a new place, having an obsession for the Victoria Bay No. 1 high-rise address from a childhood vow that she would one day buy a flat near the harbour so that her uncle would not have to walk there and back on a daily basis and not needing to search for him every evening.

The bank will only give her a 70% mortgage and payments would reach over $15,000. Unfortunately, because of an oversight in declaring her father's medical history, she no longer has insurance to pay for his expensive treatment and has to take a second job. After Lai-sheung does save enough for a down-payment, her father's medical bills become excessive. When she asks her married lover for a loan to cover these, he refuses. One night her father has trouble breathing and, instead of giving him his oxygen, Lai-sheung allows him to die. The insurance payment now adds enough money to her current savings to purchase her dream flat.

On her way to finalise the purchase, there is a hike in the stock market that makes the owners decide to raise the price. This sends Lai-sheung into a frenzy where she goes to the flats and attacks people who live and work there, killing them with low-tech, household items. During the course of the final killings, the police arrive at the flat, demanding entry. A struggle ensues during which both officers are killed.

Returning to her day job, Lai-sheung receives a call from her agent saying the owners of the flat she wishes to buy are willing to sell after all. Lai-sheung suggests that they might want to sell for a lower price, since there were 11 murders in the building the previous evening. That night, Lai-sheung's lover comes round to pick her up, but she turns her back on him and walks away, ending their relationship.

 For me, this is not as good as the 1st 2 movie. There's no main point of the whole storyline and the worst is, i even feel Sandra Ng's acting skill has gone bad... The whole movie focus on her extra big boobs and Nick Cheung is definitely outshine her in the movie and even Ivana is better than her...

Athena realize Angelo looks exactly like angel (without the wings of course), and the restaurant name is Michealangelo.

L² Comment:

Its quite touching and romantic for me, i love the storyline, love that Kaneshiro is able to act innocent angel which i think is a superb. The movie was brought to the Berlin and shown to the world, though it did not win any awards, but it has been nominated in quite a lot in the HK academy awards. The only flaw i would say is Kelly being a bit stiff, but i think she can be much more better if she has more experience in acting during that time :)

 Love this movie very much, never know that Wang Jing can be good in directing a serious movie. The whole movie flows quite well and there is no any scene which i feel is an extra. Eason did a good job so as Tony, Anthony & Wang Jing who never failed to delivers the good acting. Natalie is surprisingly sexy in this movie and definitely KO Kate Tsui in this movie.

L² Comment:

This is kinda funny but not too exciting. The storyline is predictable and the laughing point is not strong enough. Eason Chan, Chapman To & Law Kar Ying's acting is good, but Stephen Fung & Daniel Wu's are kinda bad actually. And Karen Mok is just a vase on the side~

The only surprise is the cameo appearance of Jackie Chan, Sammi Cheng & Nicholas Tse.

The movie is quite nice and yet told out the history of HongKong and a life of this woman. Sandra Ng has won her best actress in Golden Horse Awards. Once again, Sandra prove herself is not a comedian but an awards winner.
