In "3x Trouble" a night market is a place full of
people, buying, selling and bustling around. Hai, Tian and San are good
friends, where Hai sells pirated DVDs, Tian sells lingerie and San is a
deliveryman for an electrical shop. One day, an announcement to demolish the
night market to build a new mall threatens the income of the retailers,
therefore Hai, Tian and San make a decision that will forever change their
lives.
In real life, as human beings, it is really hard for us to
make jokes during the difficult times. However, as a filmmaker, they are
different from us. These people have the ability to make us laugh despite the
harsh realities of life, which is why we watch their films, and Hong Kong
director Patrick Yau's new dark comedy "3x Trouble" is exactly that.
"3x Trouble" is a close-to-your heart movie that
leads you to a wild ride through the rough and hilarious journey of three close
friends, Tian (Rynn Lim), a cowardly night market lingerie hawker, Hai (Jack
Lim), a illegal DVD seller, and San, a kind electrical van driver. Due to a bad
decision, the three friends are soon involved in a crime involving a mysterious
woman (Landy Wen), and the trio now has to try everything they can to protect
their loved ones from the numerous threats caused by a cold-blooded
professional killer (Andrew Tan).

A comedy with a dark twist to the story… making it unusual
and unique for a local production. The more I watched, the more I find it
weird. At some point, it felt scary and surprisingly surreal. An unexpected ending, the movie itself was filled with civic-conscious lessons which was worth watching.
