This is a wild ride about a group of young street girls in Hong Kong. This is a very dark and graphic film that explores prostitution, drug abuse,sexual abuse, crime on the streets of Hong Kong, among other things. Although this film has few happy moments, it does create a sympathy for the central characters even though they shouldn't really be likable people. Reminds me of how I care for the characters in the Sopranos even though they are generally bad people.This film reminded me of a Chinese "Kids" and although darker in content,it is very similar to the Japanese film "Bounce Ko Gals". I would definitely recommend this film. I should mention that the subtitles were not the easiest to read because they are done in white and the English subtitles are running simultaneously with the Mandarin.
