Ming Ming is the debut feature from renowned commercial and music video director Susie Au and as one would expect from such a director the film is a visual feast. However, reducing the plot of Ming Ming is not easy, but let’s try: Ming Ming steals money and a wooden box from gangster Brother Cat, hoping to use her ill gotten gains to flee with D, a boxer she has fallen for. Cat unleashes a series of henchmen to stop her and as she passes on the money to Tu. As he tries to escape he meets Nana who looks just like Ming Ming. In a pair of energetic performances top mainland actress Zhou Xun plays both Ming Ming and Nana alongside Hong Kong heart-throb Daniel Wu.
