You Shoot, I Shoot
Pang Ho-cheung announced himself as a major comic voice with this deadpan black comedy, a debut that doubles as a gleeful joke at the film industry’s expense. Bart is a contract killer whose business has gone soft, and his last hope is a demanding new client who will only pay if each killing is captured on video. Bart knows how to shoot a target. He has no idea how to shoot a movie. So he hires Chuen, a broke, unemployed film-school graduate brimming with artistic ambition, to direct his hits. What follows turns the mechanics of murder into a full-blown film production, complete with creative differences, budget panic, and a director who needs every assassination to mean something. Quick, dry, and ruthlessly funny.
