Robbery / 老笠

An anarcho-absurdist blood-soaked grand guignol indie flick with attitude to burn, this is the pitch perfect youth movie from Hong Kong. A twenty-something punk fancies himself a total player, but the best job he can find is overnight clerk at a convenience store. The other clerk is a cute chick and you’re thinking “rom com,” but then there’s a robbery, a gangster, a shoot-out, and by the time a neighbor is pulling out a homemade bomb, you realize that this violent farce is all about the current situation in Hong Kong where nothing makes sense, the heartless wipe their feet on the hopeless, and you might as well burn it all down because there are no more better tomorrows.这夜很离奇，自认废青的阿平来到谜之便利店第一晚上班，先遇上刻薄老板和神经质女同事，转头黑警来借厕所；刚出狱的愤怒老人即兴玩老笠，又有富豪和性感女伴乱入。众人各有故事，各怀鬼胎，一场大龙凤在便利店热闹上演。当炸弹狂徒来袭，最后殊途同归但又意想不到。笑他们太疯癫，只是这个城市病了我们看不穿，导演火火掌控节奏和精警对白非常准确，几位老戏骨交足功课，成就一部港片少见的黑色荒诞困兽斗好戏。
