About This Movie

So, 'Tri-Star' from '96 is quite the oddity in the comedy/crime/romance mix. The premise revolves around this priest who hears a rather colorful confession from a prostitute – the whole thing is kind of a wild ride, especially with that hefty HK$200,000 debt hanging in the air. It’s got this quirky tone that balances the absurd with moments of genuine emotion. The pacing feels uneven at times, veering from lighthearted banter to heavier themes of redemption and desperation. What stands out in this one? The practical effects aren't anything to write home about, but the performances have this raw energy. It's got a certain charm, you know? Not your typical rom-com fare.
