A man is hired by a group of people he believes to be gangsters to escort a briefcase from America to Hong Kong. When he arrives, however, his contact is nowhere to be found. With no further instructions, he decides to take in the sights of Hong Kong, which consist of him taking part in a great deal of blood, sex and general weirdness, all while wearing a briefcase handcuffed to his arm.

Unlike anything I’ve seen before. Stream of consciousness surreal gang thriller with one hell of a punchline. The chase sequence takes one from the most scenic Hong Kong to its bowels, highlighting the dinginess and seediness at its core. Life and love thrives here anyway.
It’s good shit.
