A World Without Thieves, directed by Feng Xiaogang, was released in 2004 as an action-comedy film from China. The plot is about two confidence tricksters played by Andy Lau and Rene Liu, who meet a rather gullible bondholder while on a train. The bondholder, who is carrying a great deal of cash, falls under the charms of the more sophisticated couple’s trick. However, as the plot continues, the couple begins to get confused with their own ideals and the meaning of trust.
The managing enhances the roller coaster of emotions with fun and even romance in the midst of some bitterness and betrayal that emanates in these themes – love, loyalty, deception and its repercussions. The contrast between the inexperience of the traveler and the cunning of the con men as well as the consequences of life in a harshly hypocritical and treacherous world is portrayed through the relationship of these characters.
A World Without Thieves, where internal zest and intelligence are devoted to a mere maniacal value, is remarkable primarily from the point of view of the narrative, development of the characters and relations within them. Dzhavadov Yu-reporter has done a serious work observing and collecting videos and still photographs so that he can present us such a splendid work. The talented cast including Lau and Liu in their respective roles makes the story more persuasive which in turn affect the performance as required by.
