An endearing film
This movie is very endearing.
You can tell that the filmmakers really love the Godfathers and other Italian mafia movies growing up as well as the love for Hong Kong Cinema. The thing I appreciate the most about the film is the fact that they took away the brutality of mafia mob films smuggling and killing people to smuggling spices and olive oil. We were laughing the whole time when Vinny tried to launder Olive Oil in Chinatown. Come on, if it's vegetable oil, no problem son, not Olive Oil. And the 30 percent discount at the deli is hilarious. The actor who played Hung Phat is a Hong KongTVB legend doing his iconic legendary villain laugh brought me back to my childhood memories watching all those Hong Kong fantasy martial arts series.
Vinny character is also very sincere and the actor is very likable.
The movie did make me giggle throughout and I can see the love of the filmmakers honoring the homage of what they loved in the old school cinema.
If you look for a fun, entertaining film which can help you relax after a long day at work. This is it. Have some Chinese take out with Tiger beers or some salami with red wine , then you will have an awesome time.
