Cheung
Man stars as a triad hitwoman who loses her memory after an
attack. After being rescued by a mother and daughter duo,
Cheung is given a new personality and used to help them in
their day-to-day toils. However, the triad killer who'd
originally attacked Cheung discovers her hiding place and
resolves to finish the job properly.
A
deeply unfunny comedy from director Taylor Wong who allows all
pace and narrative flair to disappear out of the window after
the first ten minutes. A splendid cast are totally wasted with
a headline trio of actresses merely going through the motions.
Jacky Cheung sleepwalks through his role as Yau's boyfriend,
but does manage to feature in an unintentionally funny final
battle with super kicker Ken Lo. Avoid.
