Nothing
to Lose, 2002, 90 min
Singapour / Thailande / Hong Kong
by Danny Pang, with Pierre Ng, Fresh, Yvonne Lim, Niponth Chaisirikul |
The film is about two young men who are driven into a corner and plan to finish
their lives at full speed. Oak Lee is about to jump from a building because he can not pay
his gambling debts, but suddenly realises that there is someone next to him. It is Gogo,
who also wants to commit suicide. She had just killed her cheating Lesbian lover. Oak Lee
persuades Gogo not to kill herself, and invites her to dinner. The two young people decide
to go on a trip. They steal a fancy sports car, rob a convenience store, and head for the
casino, all the while pursued by the mob and the police. Once again, they find themselves
on top of the building and just as the title suggests, they indeed have nothing to lose.
Should they to die as failures or leave a lasting impression...
