Pang Ho-Cheung has long been one of the bright lights - albeit a chronically under appreciated one, especially away from home - of Hong Kong, a man who has carved out a niche for himself with a string of sharp, quietly subversive comedies. With his most recent film Isabella he proved he could do straight drama, too, and do it damn well but with his new picture Exodus - a recent selection of the Toronto International Film Festival - it looks as though he's returning to his regular comedic stomping grounds. The synopsis sounds fantastic:

Yuan is a poor and quiet girl from Taiwan who got married and settled down in Hong Kong. However, her marriage was soon over and she is separated from her husband Bing. One day, Bing goes missing and the police looks for Yuan to record statement. Ye is a policeman who happens to be involved in an earlier case where Bing is caught for peeping in the washroom. Bing had earlier explained to Ye that he had discovered an incredible secret: a lot of women were planning secretly to destroy men and they were exchanging their ideas in the washroom. Ye was feeling bizarre about the whole case, as whenever he found some evidence, they would go missing at a blink! Ye soon developed feelings for Yuan and the both soon discovered that Bing was killed because he knew too much about the secret organization. The both are in danger too...

The picture stars Simon Yam, Nick Cheung, Annie Liu and Maggie Siu. Good concept, good cast ... and now it's time to take a look at the trailer below the break ...
