Overkill drama HK flick.

[OllieSuave-007 · 1/10 · 6 June 2016]

This is an overkill drama flick from Hong Kong that tells the story of a woman named Yuk (Season Ma) and her life behind bars. Life is of course not so dandy in a women prison, as she sees violence, death and despair.

Somehow, the story also involves inmate Winnie Wong (Carrie Ng) and her relationship with boyfriend Yung (Andy Lau), which I thought drags the movie's pacing. Inmate 5354 (Meg Lam) served as some comedy relief in the film, but I thought the entire atmosphere was dark and too somber.

Just about the entire story was overly dramatic and overkill.

Grade F

Billing cheater

The movie is about season ma who became a scape goat for his boyfriend for drugs related matters.. soon she was sentence to jail for half a year in a woman prison.. drama and action ensued

What I really do not understand is the top billing of Andy Lau which only appears on screen time than 1/3 of the movie.. it was a cheat to the audience. Carol Ng was great in it.
