TWO THUMBS UP | 衝鋒車 (Hong Kong, 2015)
Directed by: Lau Ho-leung
Starring: Francis Ng, Simon Yam, Patrick Tam, Mark Cheng

Following a 16-year stretch in a Malaysian prison, Big F (Francis Ng) gathers his old crew together for one last heist. Their brilliant (if a bit deranged) plan? Steal parts from junker police vans, turn their minibus into a heist vehicle above the law, and rob Mainland corpses stuffed with cash that are being transported over the border. Only two problems: they weren’t the first to have this idea, and they are beginning to like being cops. Shoot-outs, bicycle chases, kidnappings, bowling, and cockroach infestations ensue. The cast is a who’s who of Hong Kong genre actors, and prolific screenwriter Lau Ho-Leung’s directorial debut is stylish and fun. This is the type of movie that made audiences fall in love with Hong Kong films in the first place.
