SYNOPSIS:

ROB N ROLL is a Hong Kong action-comedy film produced by Derek Yee and directed by Albert Mak.  The film stars Aaron Kwok as a robber who forces two dispirited, middle-aged men, played by Gordon Lam and Richie Jen, to participate in a heist.  

“[Director Albert Mak] successfully navigates each character’s predicaments and parallel storytelling with a mix of gritty and quirky crime-comedy tones.” - Screen HK.

“An exhilarating, funny and gripping crime thriller.” - NYC Movie Guru.

“The performances of Aaron Kwok, asa unstable bandit, Lam Ka-tung, as a put-upon taxi driver, and Richie Jen as an indebted business owner, are the draw here.” - South China Morning Post.
