You don't know what you are missing

"This movie was brilliant. Four friends in completely different situations decide form a split second suicide pact. They have three hours to tie up loose ends and then they will jump off of a building, but when someone else attempts this feat before them, they decide not to do it. There is everyone from a vein hairstylist who is deathly afraid of being ordinary, to a player that realizes that he has fathered a child to one of countless women he's slept with; you start to learn that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Then the movie takes you into their lives and really lets you feel what it's like to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. This is a comedy that breaks through language and geographical barriers."

""Six Strong Guys" is a hilarious romp with guys who form a suicide pact. All sorts of delightful subplots interweave in & out. Of particular note is Andy Hui who was excellent as the doctor in "Koma." Here his comic skills highlight what a versatile actor he is. You might not think 6 guys trying to commit suicide by jumping off a skyscraper is the basis for a hilarious comedy, but it is. George Lam's fast-paced direction suits this script that has wit, style, and laughs galore, even with English subtitles. Certainly, this is one DVD to enjoy for all who appreciate the new wave of Asian cinema. Bravo!"
