Featuring a cast of veteran Hong Kong actors including Francis Ng (right) as Lung and Poon Chan Leung as Wong Suk Yi, this sports drama revolves around a dragon boat team formed by a telecom company. The middle-aged men hope to avoid retrenchment by showing corporate loyalty through sport. While vaguely entertaining, director Sunny Chan's film debut never strays from the standard feel-good story. The plot rises and falls predictably, leaving the audience without any real sense of investment in the outcome of the boat races. Even though it touches on each character's personal struggles, from Lung's one-sided love for his neighbour to Suk Yi's need to escape from his bickering wife and mother-in-law, the attempt to dive into the issues is sabotaged by one-dimensional female characters and a goofy sense of humour. These trivialise the movie
Another movie movie by Francis Ng. In order to prevent layoff by company Francis and his team joined the dragon boat team and it’s interesting to see how they tried ways to stay in the team.
Relatable in so many ways, this movie tells about a story of struggle in team work. It is interesting to see how they resolve their problems and overall, very entertaining.
