A WOMAN, A GUN & A NOODLE SHOP 三槍拍案驚奇. Directed by Zhang Yimou 張藝謀, starring Sun Honglei 孫紅雷, Xiao Shenyang 小瀋陽 and Yan Ni 閻妮. Movie opens in Singapore 25 Feb, exclusively at GV Vivo, GV Plaza and GV Tiong Bahru.
A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop is a remake of the 1985 directorial debut of Joel and Ethan Coen, BLOOD SIMPLE
Wang is a gloomy and cunning noodle shop owner in a desert town in China. Feeling neglected, Wangs wife secretly goes out with Li, one of the employees. A timid man, Li reluctantly keeps the gun the landlady bought for killing her husband later. Every single move they make, however, does not escape the bosss notice. Wang decides to bribe patrol officer Zhang to kill the illicit couple. It looks like a perfect plan: the affair will come to a cruel but satisfying end or so he thinks. The equally wicked Zhang has an agenda of his own that will see more violence than necessary
The first ten minutes are atrocious. The rest of the movie is actually pretty watchable.

This is a movie with a comedy beginning but as deep as the story develops, it turns to thriller. This movie is a tribute to Blood Simple said Zhang the directer. As many people said:" This is a movie with lots of shit!" I agree partly, the story is fine indeed, the presentation and sound are decent as well. At least, this won't disappoint you more than the new Green Hornet so ...

Very different and strange trailer (compared to the other, much more Occidental friendly one). I'll grab the DVD out 2-1-2011 to check it out! I'm rarely disappointed by Yimou, so...
