Plot
Bumbling mainland crooks mess up a robbery in Hong Kong, and a police squad deals with them and a murderer.
Sinekatalog’s take
Johnnie To's Hong Kong crime film, Pou fung, with Simon Yam and Lam Suet, is dry, witty and tense; the details here rest on the synopsis.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
