Expect the unexpected
(Fai seung dat yin)

by Patrick YAU

expect the unexpected

Ken, head of an Organised Crime Bureau team, leads members Sam, Macy, Jimmy and Magic Bullet on a hunt-down of an inhuman killing squad. Meanwhile three clumsy thieves arrive from the mainland to rob a jewellery shop. Things go terribly wrong; one is arrested and the others take refuge in the same building as the ruthless killers. Waitress Mandy who works in the café across the road becomes the primary witness.

An emblematic example of Milkyway’s rendering of the noir film, where cops and gangsters confront one another violently in rain and in shine. Here, each is obsessively convinced he will triumph and stays attentive to what will happen next: when and how?
