If you're old enough then you've likely seen the Usual Suspects, and this is an unsubtle homage to it (or rip-off depending on your strength of view).
Chow Yun Fat is our lead villain who highers a failed (but highly skilled) artist to help in the counterfiting of US Dollars. Our artist is the naive narrator in the criminal world, but unlike the original movie, there are love stories etc wrapped up amongst all the shennanigans.
The exasperated police are on their tales and struggling, but they have their ways.
Anyhow, as you would expect Chow Yun Fat is excellent, but so are various others. However, for most of the actors it's not the most taxing of roles for them, and in various parts where the characters are supposed to be speaking in fluent English, it was really cringing & comical (should have been avoided).
It's interesting enough, but I was bored. I'm not an admirer of the original movie as others (and I won't spoil it), but I liked it. This storyline missed the angles I thought that made that other film a major success. I just think so much better could have been done.
I think, many others will enjoy this more than I did. There's better out there to watch.
