A powerful and unpredictable suspense drama about three ordinary people thrown together on a collision course to tragedy. Based on a true story. [from the Tai Seng Catalog]
The first Cat III movie to win a major award in HK, the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress went to Carrie Ng.
American Chinese Billy Chan is a handsome, loathsome, manipulative, and they're just his good qualities ! No wonder he has three luscious women competing for his attention. Lisa is an air hostess who supplies him with cocaine. Judy Yu has just lost her husband (who ran off to Japan with his girlfriend), and moves in next door to Billy and Lisa. Then there's bible student Annie Cheung, who visits both Billy and Judy in prison, where they await trial, not for murder, but disrespect of a corpse (Lisa, in whose murder they are the chief suspects). Prosecutor K S "Mel" Wong keeps dreaming about the murdered girl, and starts questioning those involved, and says "Sorry, no deals" a lot.
The same story, with a different treatment, was used in the film Legal Innocence. |
