Cheap Killers is a rather violent movie about 2 hired assasins who run foul of the underworld and finally become fugitives themselves. It is not recommended for children or the faint-hearted, because of some rather gruesome scenes. An unusual twist to the usual gory violence is the tender, perhaps homosexual relationship between the 2 assasins. Alex Fong gives an excellent and convincing performance as the ?gay "elder brother" forced by circumstances to protect and care for the incapacitated younger friend, played not so convincingly by Chan Kam Hung. The gay relationship however is only presumed, however as there is nothing concrete in the movie to actually confirm the gay partnership. The director has deliberately left certain questions unanswered. Expect to see glimpses of Alex's well-toned body and more of Chan Kam Hung's. The ending unfortunately, is unrealistic.
