Winner Takes All

About This Movie

So, Winner Takes All is one of those Hong Kong comedies that leans heavily into the zany. You’ve got Karl Maka and the Hui brothers—Ricky and Samuel—bringing their usual charisma. The pacing is pretty fast, bouncing between slapstick and situational humor, though at times it feels like it’s trying to juggle too many subplots. The atmosphere? It’s all over the place in a way that feels distinctly Hong Kong. You get a mix of practical effects and some silly gags, but they work within the context of the film's wackiness. The performances are lively, and the chemistry among the leads is palpable, which definitely adds to its charm. Not a classic by any means, but interesting for a collector's shelf.
