Seeing these selfish lepers all getting their comeuppance does not necessarily constitute entertainment. Go to Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times 01/07/2016
The multicultural milieu lends an initial boost as Mr. Kwek's jokes and plot entanglements take potshots at life in Singapore, but all the air seeps out of this attempt at zippy, tabloid-nutty storytelling. Go to Full Review Simon Abrams Village Voice 01/05/2016

04/30/2015 nice pace and interesting plot. ending was a bit too convenient. i like the style in which the story is presented. great performance from the cast. See more 04/28/2015 While it does take risks, and is something that no other Singaporean movie has been before, I can't help but be slightly underwhelmed. I really wanted to love it, but ended up just sort of liking it. The cast is great, but a big part of my issues with it is due to structure, where a framing device ends up rather extraneous and saps the dramatic tension out of a lot of scenes. Ironically, the drama and pace slow down once the hostage situation occurs, whereas the buildup was fleet and well-executed. The whole thing also feels like it wants to be a little too clever than it actually is - and the meta-ness doesn't help. See more 12/16/2014 very entertaining, very slick. another fine local feature.
