Three kidnappers and four hostages forge an unlikely rapport in the 90s-style Hong Kong black comedy Rhapsody of Kidnapping. Written and directed by new director Paul Sze, the film stars Justin Cheung (Due West: Our Sex Journey), Eric Kwok (Robbery) and Chui Ho Cheong (Ghost Net) as tech entrepreneurs who get cheated of their invention by rich investor Kong (Tony Ho). Knee deep in debt, the desperate trio decide to retaliate by successively kidnapping the tycoon’s wife (Christine Ng), mistress (Alycia Chan), daughter (Jennifer Yu) and mother-in-law (Wong Man Wai). However, Kong would gladly get rid of all of them over paying the ransom. |
