Down on their luck and seriously in debt, best pals Sam (Simon Yam, also in PFF08’s Eye in the Sky), Fai (Louis Koo) and Mok (Honglei Sun) discover a map that will help them find a mysterious ancient treasure. The trio makes a pact to split the loot, but they fail horribly in keeping the map secret. Soon gangsters, cops and seriously pissed-off girlfriends all want a piece of the action. Elaborate car chases, stylized gun battles and broad comedy keep the action cracking and popping, but at the end of the day, will our three heroes be up to the task? And will their friendship remain intact? Friends for over 30 years yet collaborating for the first time, directors Hark, Lam and To each spearhead individual segments rich in their respective cinematic styles and bring along Hong Kong’s hottest action stars for the ride. Reminiscent of Pulp Fiction, the unprecedented merging of all three flavors results in a brightly kinetic thriller that offers plenty for action enthusiasts and lovers of unconventional storytelling alike.
