I love Johnnie To, I thought that this would be a good movie considering the rating. Though I see the critique of obsession with money, it is a dud, where there isn't a single likable character, or even interesting character. The acting is over-the-top, the motivations are not always clear, the title has no real connection with the storyline, in fact, the storyline is fairly non-existent and random. Characters appear that have no connection to the rest of the story when you thought they would, others appear suddenly that are significant but we couldn't have known it, the dialogue is awful. I guess Johnnie To was good in the 90s-00s.

It is tragic to see a young actress like Zoe King let herself become the object of ... sexual objectification, as well as such a destructive message for young people being put forth.

This film doesn't honour much in terms of storytelling. They set up one thing then lead in a different way. In order not to spoil, I will just say, don't waste your time. Bad male role-models everywhere, bad examples of behaviour shown as normative.

This film is not funny, not romantic, and not a good story.
