🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director crafts a brisk world where domestic troubles collide with sudden violence. The comedy is dry and situational, born from the absurdity of the premise.

It suits viewers who enjoy straightforward tales of homecoming and justice served in uncomplicated ways. One feels a nostalgic satisfaction from its unpretentious execution. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Sammo Hung Kam-Bo
