Ying (Tony Leung Ka-Fai) is an overprotective father who will do anything for his daughter Ellen (Charlene Choi Cheuk-Yin) he is raising on his own. Complications ensue when he is mistaken for a legendary Triad and uses the mistake to get the respect of his daughter.
A lightweight comedy with a heart. Tony and Charlene carry the movie with their performances. There are a number of fantasy/flashback scenes which are well done. The only sour note is the climax, which is overly long and melodramatic.
