The vehicle was rented form his boss,a woman with a crazy son the cyclo's age, to pay her back, the young man is forced to commit acts of sabotage and very qutckly, he is caught up in the spiral of crime. Easy money and the impanity of his actions give the cyclo a feeling of power and make him want to join the gang run by the poet.

[VuThu]

This is a story of a brother and sister living in Vietname, coping with life.
The young man works as a cyclo (pedalling a bicycle taxi) after his father, also a cyclo, was killed in an accident. He works very hard transporting customers around the city trying to support himself, his two sisters, and his grandfather. However, he is also forced to deal with the gangs on the street. When his cyclo was one day stolen by a street gang, and he could not pay back his employer, a ruthless female hustler, for the stolen cyclo, he was forced into the city's underworld of crime.

At the same time, the sister of the young man falls in love with the head of the street gang, the Poet. The Poet pimps her and two other girls while also committing other ruthless crimes.

The two siblings must now determine whether or not they can survive under the dark secrets of the city's furious brutality.

[robocop]

This is one of the most boring movie I've ever seen. Just like typical Vietnamese movie: very very slow pace, bad acting, rely to much on trying to portray some meaningful story and forget about everything else (sound effect, story like...etc...).

Hi Gravity Girl,
I humbly think I know why Tony Leung is in there.

First, I think Tran Anh Hung couldn't find any Viet guy who could act calmly to match the acting of Tran Nu Yen Khe.

Second, Tran Anh Hung might wanted a bridge between Hong Kong and Viet Nam movies. To be a friend of HongKong, maybe Vietnamese will have more opportunity to be in HK's movies. Viet watches a lot of HK movies but how many chances are there that HK watches Viet stuff? Add Tony Leung in it and HK will watch Viet happily.

Third, I think to put a HK known actor in a Viet film, Tran Anh Hung has open up the market share for the movie. More audience, give him more money, more money means more projects, more projects give him a long lasting career. A very smart move!

[XiMuiCaNaMeChua]

Very good, not many people have this perspective. :) Wow kho^ng ngo*` co' ngu*o*`i hie^?u the meaning behind all of these movies. :D
