Within this framework, the movie tends to toggle between two settings: hilariously broad comedy and hypnotically surreal action sequences. The former is what garnered the film’s fame in the East, and such acclaim is deserved. The characters are easily recognizable archetypes—from the tough-as-nails Landlady (Qiu Yuen) and her drunken, bumbling husband (Wah Yuen) to the sadistic, moustache-twirling mastermind (Kwok Kuen Chan)—and every actor milks them for all they’re worth...

The group followed this cover with a beautiful, shuffling version of pre-bluegrass classic “Happy In Prison,” Oldham and Sweeney singing, “For a cross receive a crown,” tying religion into the lyrical framework (as Bonnie himself often does), blurring listeners’ conception of who he is and what he stands...

Both operas have the kind of unquestioned stylistic integrity that bespeaks major works...
...unofficial stock market in 1982 badly undermined confidence, and repercussions continue to be felt. Finally, Western bankers will be leery about doing business there until legal uncertainties are clarified. A British lawyer working in Bahrain points out that it took the West nearly 300 years to develop a legal framework for banking. Arab bankers are making great progress, but more must be done before they will have a modern financial structure. --By Gordon M. Henry. Reported by Aileen Keating/Bahrain
