Godspeed (Yi lu shun feng)

A deliciously dark and often very amusing story about a Taiwanese drug courier whose supposedly foolproof transportation scheme is thrown off-kilter when he ends up being driven by an oddball taxi driver. Mong-Hong Chung’s beautifully shot film is a crime caper road movie to be cherished. This immensely entertaining film bristles with black humour while also offering plenty of crime action. However, at heart, it is all about what happens when chance encounters see the best-laid plans go awry and the fickle hand of fate takes charge.
