97 Aces Go Places

1997 · 92 min

A breezy, silly action-comedy full of slapstick, gunplay, and goofy romance that never takes itself seriously.

Overview: Eternal 25 year-old Alan Tam is a wimpy triad boss who must avenge his dad because he had a heart attack after losing at cards to a pretty cat burglar. For help, he enlists Drunk Shooter, HK’s ace gunman, who’s also an incredible souse. Problem: Christy ripped off wacky triad boss Francis Ng, so he wants her, too. Even worse, Alan just doesn't want to kill Christy because she’s too damn beautiful. Hijinks ensue.
How it feels: Absurd, campy, light and romantic. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Crime, love, revenge, betrayal
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
