The loosely connected stories of a pair of Hong Kong cops who are dumped by their girlfriends. In the first segment, a young cop, known only by his badge number (#223) and on the rebound from a love affair, encounters a glamorous nameless woman in a blonde wig, sunglasses and Chanel raincoat who is tracking down a group of smugglers from Chungking House. In the second part, police officer #663 gets closer and closer to Faye, a counter-person at the local fast food joint Midnight Express. (official distributor synopsis)

English I know it might not be the best when the main thing you remember from the film is its soundtrack, but the music in this case really grabs you, partly because it feels out of place, like it doesn't belong there. But that's what makes it so disarming. Plus, they're my favorite songs, even if in an Asian rendition. A strange ride, but beautiful. ()
