Bouncing with nail-biting suspense and ingenious humor, this Chinese noir portrays a puzzling crime in a rural small town, where greed, lust and wit battle it out in one night. It all starts from a sexually impotent motel owner hiring a pro to murder his cheating wife. Everything goes exactly as planned, until two blind daters, a robber, a policeman and a strange dead body unexpectedly arrive.

Press Quotes

'Chinese film noir meets the off kilter sensibilities of the Coen Brothers in a film that is continuously shifting gears...What an absolute cinematic joy and a hidden treasure.'

     —Steve Kopian, Unseen Films

'a great, dark comedy and a refreshing cinematic surprise that laughs at the real-life challenges faced by modern-day rural Chinese trying to cope with the encroachment of big city values...there's hope for independent cinema in China after all.'

     —Jonathan Landreth, China Film Insider

'A colourful Fargo-esque comedy full of twists, noodles and marital bliss....made me giggle and guffaw throughout.'

     —Anthony Gates, EasternKicks.com

'the film's tempo accelerated until I was on the edge of my seat...left me happy and hungry for more.'

     —Richard Yu, Cinema Escapist
