Movie Review: A World Without Thieves

I rented it from some cheap chinese store for a dollar and watched this movie at 10:30 last night. I have to say, this movie is absolutely amazing. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, please don’t read this review - it will ruin one of your best experiences other than you know what.

Spoilers Inside!!

First of all, I’d like to say that this movie wasn’t as funny as I expected. Feng Xiao Gang’s pictures are always so witty and hilarious. This wasn’t one of them.

The acting was really good, despite Liu De Hua’s cockiness in everything. Nonetheless, I couldn’t find anything to pick on while watching it. Liu De Hua plays a “kool” role, as always. His acting significantly improved from all of those old crappy HongKong bar movies. Ge Yo was brilliant, as always. And all of the other nameless people can join this party too if they want.

The development of the movie was awweeesomee. Even though there were some logical errors (1 + 1 = 3 kind of things), the story flowed nicely. I have to say the director, Feng Xiao Gang, is one of the most brilliant guys in the year of 2005. The entire movie was filmed in a train on the road and doesn’t even bore me to the slightest bit.

Now the plot is shweeeet. Theives battling each other with super little knife skills and egg pealing tricks are just kool. I’ve never liked sad endings. The good guy dies. But in a sense the bad part of him dies, while the good remains while trying to get the 60 grand back for the retard. I usually laugh at retards, but the one in this movie 1) acted well 2) was retarded. He was really honest though, which was just another sympathy thing that the director wants me to think.

THE GOOD GUY DIES DAMN IT. That seriously sucks. That’s just really, really sad. Really. It even makes Ge Yo seem like a bad guy. But in the end, I blame the cop for not letting anybody go.

I’ll go watch it again now.

    It’s in Mandarin and English. Not sure about Cantonese, but I think they have a really badly translated version of it.
