Ebola Syndrome

Herman Yau and Anthony Wong reunited after The Untold Story to make something even less interested in your comfort. Wong plays a restaurant cook who murders his bosses, flees to South Africa, catches Ebola from a dying woman, discovers he is an immune carrier, and works out he can weaponise himself against a planet he already hates. The Category III rating is earning its keep here: rape, murder, and a plague spread on purpose through the food supply, all played with a leering black comedy that dares you to enjoy Wong's sheer glee. It is trashier and dumber than Untold Story and somehow more purely entertaining, because Wong commits to being the most repellent man alive as though it were a musical number. Grubby, gleeful, and completely without shame.
