Movie Synopsis
Lim (Christopher Lee), a struggling and obnoxious 40-year-old taxi driver, is a complete failure. His wife left him years ago. And his only son - Wei Siang (Jerald Tan) - is frequently neglected. Mistaken for a rich man's son, Wei Siang is kidnapped at an arcade one day and held for an enormous ransom. Thus begins one father's relentless quest to get his son back. In the process, he gives up everything in his life to raise the ransom, only to discover that the nefarious kidnapper (Jack Lim) wants even more money. Unable to raise the second ransom, Lim descends into madness as grief and self-doubt overwhelms him. His own morals are threatened when he flirts with the dark side in a desperate attempt to get his son back.

Movie Review

I think this is one of the best locally produced movie. Good quality, good storyline, value for money. Nothing much to write about this movie except - IT'S GOOD.

Movie Review

This is a damn stupid movie. It is the chinese version of Epic movie. Though they have a strong cast, but the humour is so bad, I cant appreciate them. But if you got the time to spare, go watch it.

RunTime: 1 hr 48 mins
Rating: PG

Movie Synopsis

Movie Review

This is a great movie! I love it, though most parts of the movie is really quite complicated. One must learn and find out more about the great Confucius before watching the movie or else you will be confused by Confucius because he is confusing (if you didnt notice the "confu" part) Ok lame! I think it's good. Should watch.
