3x Trouble: A story about coincidence and...

Just caught this flick at their gala premiere.
(I apologizes for any unsatisfactory remarks for any parties involved in the film.These are some frank after thoughts that I feel after watching.)

Feel free to drop me a comment about how you feel after watching.


About the Film
In the dead of the night, ZiShan, DongHai and QingDian enter a business complex parking lot to steal a car. After various twists and turns, the trio managed to succeed in the theft.

The whole crime started as QingDian needed the money to fight for his son’s custody. Taking in DongHai’s idea to steal a car seriously, QingDian decided to help him, while ZiShan is being dragged along by QingDian to be their getaway driver.
It was after the trio drove off with the posh car that they discovered that a girl is hidden in the back from the trunk, which proceeded to land them in a string of strange and thrilling misadventures, and involving them in murder. While the killer is hot on their trails, can they safely survive the night before becoming victims themselves?



My Take
Of course every story has its own conflict,not surprised on this.
It's a feud between a half siblings,over an asset,which was explained at the end of the story.

This story tries to be a thriller,but yet ended a comedy which in turn ended in a tragic death.
In addition to that,the absurd "coincidences" has made it far fetched in a story,like killer kill Lady, JUST so happened that the 3 "brothers" passed by in attempt to a car theft, and the strange happening starts.

On the positive note,the film may have a potential message of Wealth as a root to evil,but it was overwritten by the message about Karma,based on the Killer's mistaken kill.

Unfortunately,the film is not something that I will look forward to.

Moreover,there are 3 possibilities that you will only consider catching this flick:


A fan or supporter of the casts.
You are into this type of absurd story
You have nothing to watch.

 My Rating: 1/5,you may beg to differ and protest at me for giving this rating,but this is sure not my preferred type of flick.

3x Trouble opens in cinemas on 5th April 2012,Rated PG13

(Update on 6 April 2012: My Bad...It's not only in SHAW Cinemas alone, just found out that the film is also screening over at Cathay Cineplexes,so it's not exclusive anymore.Thanks to Anonymous for the heads up.)
