Review
"As unbelievable as it may sound, veteran director Herman Yau's film is actually a comedy, albeit a very, very sick one, which only those with cast iron stomachs and loose sensibilities are liable to find funny. Despite, or perhaps due to the torrent of non-stop atrocities on screen, the film is far too ridiculous to be taken seriously, and everyone involved seems to have had a great deal of fun challenging the viewer's sense of morality, with a sly wink and their tongues placed firmly in their cheeks. At the end of the day, it's pretty hard not to crack a smile at a film which has scenes of genre king Anthony Wong, again playing a drooling psychotic, on the run in the wilds of Africa trying to hold up his trousers while being chased by a leopard." - James Mudge, Beyond Hollywood
