Winners and Sinners was a Winner




A couple months ago I was introduce to a martial arts, criminal comedy. This movie is called Winners and Sinners. It is set in Hon Kong and follows the lives of 5 convicts who after prison decide to live together. They live with Curly’s (one of the convicts) sister who is very beautiful which creates plenty of friction and hilarious situations throughout the movie. At times it is somewhat difficult to follow, due to the ever-present subtitles. However, the extremely fast talking and over exaggerated expressions and movements of the actors make it all the more better. The fact that this movie has subtitles makes it difficult to pick a quote, but luckly for me, the best part of the movie has little to no talking at all. For what appears to be a low budget film Winners and Sinners blow their small sum of money that they had on one scene.  This scene is a car crash that turns into more of a car massacre. What could have been a simple 4 or maybe 5 car pileup is taken to a whole new level. Upwards of 50 cars crash, smash and fly their way across the screen for aporx 5 minutes. This scene was so over done that it became comical.
