Monga: not manga

" i think i wan to watch monga"
"wat? mangga? cna go buy lor..."
"not, monga"
"yala, yala, know u like to eat mango d..."


that is how i introduce the show to my wife. highly rated by taiwan. even the poster spot few good looking hunks. i dunno any of them, so the review is rather unbias. from the poster, anyone would know monga is about gangster. probably taiwan version of young and dangerous. partially correct.


the whole show is about how one chap by the name of Mosquito join the gangster due to a fight for a chicken drumstick. there are this character with the name of Prince, Monk, Monkey....stuff like that. It is really a show about growing up. finding your own niche. friendship. GUY's macho kind of story. as expected from any gangster show, there would bound to be betrayal. story is rather predictable. acting wise is ok. beat keanu reeves anytime.

in fact it is a good movie. but i wouldnt wan to spend the movie ticket on it though. not that is bad. but rather sad ending. spoil my day.

ratings: 3 half poink
comments: get the sub version. too much of Taiyu, so cant really understand much of it.
