After making 114 movies in 22 years, Heavenly King Andy Lau was
finally honoured with the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor for
his charming performance in A World Without Thieves.
Working with Chinese director Feng Xiaogang of Big Shot's Funeral
fame, Andy and co-star Rene Liu play a thieving couple who cheat
and rob their way across China — sort of like Bonnie and
Clyde. But one day, the infamous duo meet an innocent country
bumpkin who truly believes that there are no thieves in this world
— hence, the title — prompting the two to assess their
lives.
The movie itself is very enjoyable, but Andy looks just awful and
haggard in the shaggy wig he is made to wear. Someone in the costume
department should have been fired.
