A fun and appealing action comedy from Hong Kong!

This is a fun and appealing action comedy from Hong Kong, starring Simon Yam in a duo role. He plays a felon on the run from the police and a businessman who is at odds with his family. When the two identical but unrelated characters both get injured in a freak accident at the same time, hospital staff mistakenly switch their identities. So suddenly, it is the businessman (being mistaken for the felon) who is on the run from police. In the chaotic mix-up is cop Cheung Kan-Sing (Richard Ng), who tries to crack the case while, at the same time, dodge pursuing triad members.

Full of drama and action in classic Hong Kong fashion, but with delightful humor and physical comedy blended in. A well-acted out cast of characters and a fast-paced plot - all contributing to a very entertaining movie!
