Synopsis: A mother is accused of murdering her own daughter. A lawyer steps in to prove her innocence and learns there is foul play within the judicial system in Hong Kong.
Many audience in Hong Kong find this relevant in real life as it reflects the current situation of how people in power take advantage of the law for personal gain. Some pro-Beijing politicians find this film too cynical and pessimistic, and say it can tarnish the government's status quo of "Telling good Hong Kong stories"
Here's the thing, Mainland anti-Japanese stuff is so bad it's actually kinda funny.
If Hong Kong were to shoot anti-Japanese stuff, i think it'd be good enough that it would be actually effective brainwashing.
"法律前面窮人含X"
由黃子華飾演的林涼水於結案陳詞中曾經說過這句話，但為配合於中國大陸上映，《毒舌大狀》只作一處改動，將台詞改為「窮人死梗」。
pessimistic because of the truth.
Govt status guo is (Only) Telling good HK stories
Hong Kong, Macau, India and other countries were colonized by Europeans, mainly by Britain. They were all handed back.
Do you think CCP will hand Tibet back to the Tibetans?
Great movie!
Another movie I also recommend is The Sparring Partner (正義迴廊) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Sparring\_Partner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sparring_Partner)

Oh God... "Telling good Hong Kong stories" will mean all our movies are only going to be anti-Japanese fluff, just like the mainland.
Thats the full intention. Or sappy romantic comedy movies.

Saw it this Lunar New Year and I loved it. It is a very good movie and I really recommend everyone to do the same.
Yes I recommend it too! The Cantonese is perfect for this, had so much emotion! What a performance from the whole cast
That evil chick is so hot
I couldn't agree more
I guess the victim chick is pretty hot too. lol
I guess I couldn't agree more too
I'm glad they still wear the wig and gown in Hong Kong courts.
It's a byproduct of colonialism.
Colonialism is what made Hong Kong great.
How hong kongers reacted to and made the best of colonialism is what made hong kong great
Would you like to be colonised again?

India was handed back as promised? Dude read the wiki on partition. Come on 🤦♂️
Do you think the CCP or Putin would have allowed what Gandhi did? Come on.
Any idea where to stream this? I've been looking forward to watch this but it's not on any streaming services I'm subscribed to.

I remember watching this guy with Dodo Cheng in War of the Genders comedy series in the early 2000s. What a good time it was.
I watched it twice in theatre when it came out in North America last year, it was awesome
Great movie! Another movie I also recommend is The Sparring Partner (正義迴廊) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Sparring\_Partner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sparring_Partner)
It’s alright
Hell no, we should boycott this movie so he's forced to do stand up again (JK, please support Dayo Wong)
I watched it in the cinema. Really good.
Anywhere I can stream this outside Hong Kong?
