- Light-hearted
A Hong Kong action-comedy about a charming burglar recruited by police to catch international diamond thieves. It's anarchic, fast-paced, and gleefully absurd—less interested in plot coherence than in stringing together set pieces, gadgets, and banter. Made for anyone who wants style and chaos over sense.
Should you watch it?
Watch it if you like slapstick chases and gags staged with real physical commitment, where the set pieces matter more than the plot holding together.
Skip it if you want a tight, serious caper; the crime story is loose and easy to lose track of, and the comedy leans hard on mugging and goofy reactions.
What it asks of you: Under ninety-five minutes, it moves briskly and rarely stops for quiet, so keep your attention on the screen and let the physical chaos carry you.
