At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Slap-stick meets action is this watchable Lau flick. Certainly not his best, but Lau fans will be happy to him in a role that in many ways parallels a triad Tom Hanks "Big" character trying to make "good".The premise is well build and begins with the typical "wrong guy" story-line that is enough to capture one's attention until almost half way, when the story-line falls apart for the remainder of the story, which is held together by comical intervals and unlikely, but somewhat entertaining scenarios.Although this one may find a hard time reaching its way to the States (simply because it isn't that great), those looking for an introduction to Lau's work should look elsewhere.
