Star auteur Giddens Ko adapts one of his own wild short stories into a raunchy gangster-romcom mash-up about a fledgling hair dresser who inadvertently saves the life of a gang boss, who falls for her.
Hand it to star auteur/director Giddens Ko to adapt one of his own wild short stories into a gangster-romcom mash-up ripe with his patented raunchy stylings. After a fledgling hair dresser (superstar Vivian Sung) inadvertently saves the life of a gang boss, he takes a shine to her and pretty soon she’s coifing all the young hooligans’ heads with untenable abandon. The star-crossed lovers’ courting is so brazenly frank that it revs up from zero to 60 in no time flat while her whole family cheers them on to do the deed. Running parallel with their refreshingly uncouth love story is mob vs. mob intrigue and a boisterous baseball backstory that renders this whole madcap venture a bloody and heartfelt showstopper.
