It was a shame that this was showing for just one day in one cinema in Oxford UK- as a special for Chinese New Year. I found it very entertaining and think it deserves a wider audience.
The plot is highly implausible but grabs your attention, and the theatricality of the courtroom scenes is fun, even if unrealistic. The transformation of the main character from idle, careless lawyer to passionate defender of truth is nicely depicted.
There are moments when I laughed out loud, and the ending was very satisfactory. The stranglehold of a few ultra-wealthy Hong Kong families who think they are above the law is well-depicted and the theme of the weak succeeding by cunning against the strong is very satisfying.
