Michael says: "This buried treasure nominee is a visual feast, part Romeo & Juliet, part cowboy cum gangster flick, part wacky farce. Dum and Rampoey are have been in love since they first met as children, but different social classes keep them apart. As adults Rampoey is now the governor’s daughter, betrothed by her father to the chief of police, and Dum is the notorious Black Tiger, ganglord Fai’s right hand man, whose sharp shooting is legendary. Neither is aware of the other’s situation at first, but despite their circumstances, their hearts belong to one another. Still, in the great tradition of tragic romances, you know this ain’t gonna end well. 4 cats." |
