Rich & Famous is primarily the story of two brothers, Yung and Kwok, who are quite different in most regards. One day at the track, Yung gets caught counterfeiting his winning ticket and Kwok steps in to save his brother. They then have 10 days to repay the debt, or Yung will lose some fingers. In order to get the money, they decide to steal it from Old Chu, a drug dealer with ties to the Triad. Things go awry and Kwok is captured and tortured. Seeking his freedom, Pearl, their sister, goes to see Chai, another shady businessman who comes from the same part of town as they did. Chai agrees to help them, bargins for Kwok's safe return, and, in the process, makes enemies with Old Chu. After Kwok returns, Chai offers both him and Yung a position at his side; over the years, Kwok is highly favored by Chai, but Yung is snubbed for his numerous errors and wise remarks. In retaliation, Yung betrays them both. Chai and Kwok must then find a way to stop Yung before more are killed in his lust for revenge.

I had heard of Rich & Famous only recently, and being a fan of Chow Yun Fat, I wanted to check it out. Overall, it's a pretty good movie, though the main focus is on Kwok and Yung and it has a tendency to drag a bit in parts. It's also more of a drama than a straight action film, though there are some scenes where Yun Fat gets to shine.

Picture:
Rich & Famous is presented in 1.85:1 non-anamorphic widescreen. The print is really in need of some help, as there are frequent lines, marks, and spots. There is also some flickering and shimmer in the picture, as well as a general "soft" look to the blacks. Overall, the film is watchable, but the transfer is disappointing.

Sound:
Rich & Famous is presented in Dolby 1.0 Mono in Cantonese, Chinese, and Spanish. Optional English subtitles are available. The dialogue sounded clean and I didn't detect any distortion in the soundtracks. Though obviously limited, the included 1.0 tracks get the job done.

Extras:
Extras include four trailers for other films, including the sequel Tragic Hero, and four scrolling filmographies/biographies for the principle characters.

Summary:
Rich & Famous is a decent dramatic action flick with Yun Fat; unfortunately, the DVD presentation leaves a bit to be desired. It is worth at least a rental, and fans might want to consider a purchase. Recommended.
