Summary: Entertaining as Hell
This is THE story that started off little, and lead to the invasion of the Y&D boys of Hung Hing! The storyline is simple, just what you would expect from a triad movie; girls, fighting, backstabbing, revenge, and brotherhood. Somehow, there was something quite different about this movie from the rest. Wheather it's the stylish camera techniques, or the use of comic images.. it's really nicely put together.

There was that little sterotype of how women are portrayed in this, but that was hardly noticable with the attraction of the strong friendship and loyalty within Hung Hing. Every character leaves an impression in your mind, which is quite hard to do when you have so many! It was lively and the acting in this is just wonderful. A winning combination with the pair Ekin Cheng and Jordan Chan lighting up the screen.Also Francis Ng played a very convincing S.O.B bad guy. I think that everyone did a great job.

This is a very good entertaining film. There's comedy, drama, and just enough action to keep you interested. I would highly recommend it.
