SYNOPSIS:
In the triad world, hugely dominated by men, where heroes are molded from blood, brawn and brains, are there any place to accommodate a defenseless girl?
The only exception to the rule is if you earn your respect as “Ah Sou” - the big boss’ wife.
Mob Sister tells the extraordinary story of an innocent girl who was appointed successor to Hong Kong’s ruling triad. This role becomes a double-edged sword for our young heroine, who is sucked into a maelstrom of vicious gang wars, hair-raising assassination attempts, ruthless power struggles and betrayals. Through numerous violent episodes and unexpected reversals, she discovers her own inner strength and re-writes the laws of the triad.
RATING: 6.75/10

REVIEW:
" The stellar cast featured are awesome in their roles, and newcomers like lead protagonist Annie Liu are able to hold their own against veterans like Tsang, Wong and Yam. Some of my favourite scenes include those with minimal dialogue, just the stars filling up space in Kodak worthy moments, oozing menacing street attitude. Karena Lam's role as a revenge seeking female triad boss was a bit wasted with its one dimensional purpose, while Yuen Wah's role as a retired gangster turned temple monk was a surprising scene stealer - the temple/religion offers a sanctuary for triad members, and some of the dialogue in the temple are powerful and at times, zen-like.
However, the narrative, while superb in the building up, was at times choppy and lacked during the closure. Perhaps the length of the movie (clocking in at approximately 90 minutes) didn't allow for greater in-depth explanation during the closing stages. Scenes like the car crashing scene, while creatively standing in for tried-and-tested gangland fistfights, didn't transition too well into the storyline, and therefore didn't really fit into the scheme of things.
Interesting delivery methods like the use of pencil sketch animation did attempt to liven up the narrative, as with the use of juxtaposed timelines and flashbacks, however these methods drew attention to themselves, focusing a tad too much on technical delivery rather than on the story and characters. And some jokes didn't come across properly given this Cantonese film is dubbed in Mandarin - the voice for Annie Liu will take some time to get used to.
This is a tragic story of gangs and power struggles, great build up with awesome potential, which was unfortunately let down by a weaker than expected ending. "
