For more than 10 years, we have seen Andy Lau in the movie industry and as a fan of his, I would say this is his strongest performance I have ever seen.

His role in this movie as a thief and partner to Rene is a perfect fit. I am glad of how he doesn't take up roles that make him look good, charming and being a good person (which he used to do in his younger days). His act as a professional pick pocket was simply amazing.

Rene taking up the role of andy's partner and lover is strong and cool. However she is just not outstanding enough to catch attention.

The storyline is simple, Andy and Rene trying to protect this naive boy (who thinks that there are not thieves in this world) from other thieves. The story was just so simple and easy to understand, and I don't see anything wrong with it. Many directors these days have too much to say when there is too little time.

The scene when Andy is face to face with Ge You peeling the egg scene totally blast me off.

Superb story... superb actors. I could hardly see any flaws in it except for the ending.

Rating 9 out of 10
