  Nick Cheung puts on weight and age to play Fai, a 48-year-old down-out-out boxer, eking out a living in Macao training fat ladies to lose weight. Now Dan, a brat sharing his flat with her single mom, tortures him at home, and then Eddie Peng’s Qi, a hunk of a young man entering an MMA tournament to prove something, pesters him at the gym. Sure they make his life hell, but again, they may be angels in disguise. With exhilarating kick-boxing scenes edited at a furious pace abundant, director Dante Lam also fashions a warming drama about love, loyalty and redemption.
