It's conmen and con games in The Great Pretenders , an early comedy from director Ronny Yu ( The Bride with White Hair ). Hong Kong Cinema faves Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Simon Yam star as members of an elite swindling team led by Raymond Wong Bak Ming, who plays the nominal Great Pretender. Their ace in the hole is Amy Yip ( Sex and Zen ), who uses her feminine wiles to tackle their big mark: a major loan shark who deserves to be taken by this motley band of crooks. Creative scams - including the HK Cinema-mandated cons featuring mahjong - and hilarious, self-effacing performances from the big stars make The Great Pretenders a fun, breezy early-nineties romp from the Hong Kong Cinema fun factory. First Press comes with a postcard, only available while supplies last.
