"A Cool Fish" is the tale of two would-be criminals and an ex-cop trying to prove themselves in order to change their unfortunate lots in life with no idea how interconnected the lives of everyone they know have become. With the exception of a single dumb gag near the beginning, the rest of the movie treats the audience respectfully using believable and relatable characters who find themselves in both touching and humorous situations, ultimately leading to a refreshingly unpredictable ending. A bonus "what happened next" during the credits gives a sense of conclusion for anyone who prefer stories which end a bit more definitively.

This film stands out as one of the rare Chinese dark comedies featuring a remarkably well-cast ensemble. While it could be categorized into several genres such as drama, crime, and action, these elements seamlessly intertwine to create a distinctive cinematic experience. Ultimately, one can discern that beneath the veneer of absurd humor lies a poignant truth. The marginalized individuals at the lower echelons of society are relentlessly battered by fate, their aspirations and dignity shattered, and their innermost desires trampled upon without regard. In this bleak landscape, the yearnings of the heart hold little significance. Obscure individuals dwelling in the depths of despair strive to reach the illuminating surface of hope.

Although it may not be regarded as a masterpiece, it certainly merits attention and viewing.

The script is better, but there are good movies made in China. Garrich's multi-line narrative is still useful in comedy, especially in domestic comedy. As long as the plot is reasonable and the conflict points are delicate, the plot can be relieved. This film should be classified as the plot, the farce to female incontinence is basically over, the latter is more about the pursuit of the lower class of society and its realization of the hardship. Movies can be used to give a happy ending, but in reality life is not so simple. So, the drama is awkward, do not want to make a scene in the end but did not go deep.

Another rare dark comedy, this A Cool Fish has a really fantastic cast. In particular, the performances of Binlong Pan and Yu Zhang are just stunning and memorable. However, the screenplay and editing falls short compared to those of Crazy Stone. There are too many coincidences and the plot lacks credibility. The editing is also somehow artificial and contrived.
