Tai, an ordinary cop in Macau, just wants to lead a simple life with his girlfriend Yu, a dealer at a casino. But after they lose two million dollars that belong to a crime boss, they have only seven days to recover the money.
Overview:
While out on a casino raid, Macau cop Tai Chan (Andy Hui) chases a suspect and corners him in an alleyway. It's his cousin Sonny--a kid turned to crime and fleeing with three million in cash. For his own welfare's sake, Sonny pleads to be caught on the proviso that Tai secretly takes care of the money. Tai agrees and doesn't report the money to the police.
Later that night Sonny's boss Kwuen–one of the most powerful Triad kingpins in Macau--is on Tai's case. He knows Tai has the money and wants the cash deposited into a bank account first thing next morning. Tai asks his girlfriend Siu-yu (Gigi Leung) to deposit the cash.
Then there's a problem. The bank is robbed as Siu-yu is in the middle of the transaction. The money's gone and there's no receipt. Kwuen is not happy, and gives Tai seven days to retrieve it all--his clue a skull tattoo on the thief's finger. Just to make sure, Kwuen holds Tai's passport lest he chooses to skip town instead. And while all this happens, the police catch on to what Tai did with the money.
Beautifully filmed in a unique local, Marooned has boasts an interesting story and solid acting.
