| Professional killer Cheung (Simon Yam) takes refuge in a village community, posing as a former gigolo when renting a room with teacher Lee (Carol Cheng). No sparks fly initially but since this film belongs the to the rom/com genre... Oh, and there's a rival, sadistic killer (Karel Wong) out to get Cheung too.
Cheng appears as her otherwise known screen persona, the one possessing little female traits but those traits are this time forced and her chemistry with Simon Yam is poor. Director Jamie Luk (also co-star) takes the characters places but for no plausible or logic reasons and useless asides such as a focus on a school election marks Luk's lack of strength in his core material. Enter Karel Wong at sporadic points to turn the piece bloody and yet another poorly fitted mood takes refuge in The Killer's Love. |
