Love story cum gangster movie - Gangster Payday review by Alphaville
The very misleading title and trailer may lead you into expecting another Honk Kong shoot-em-up, but this is something different. It’s a charming little film in which an ageing ex-Triad boss (the always reliable Anthony Wong) falls for a younger woman (the always watchable Charlene Choi), even though anyone can see it’s she and his younger brother who are made for each other. Not until a dramatic plot point at the hour mark does the tone become darker as old adversaries must be faced. The whole makes for an odd combination of genres. Does it work? Not entirely, but it’s worth a look to find out.
