Usual comedian Nick Cheung demonstrates his acting range in Day Off, an offbeat hitman thriller directed by Raymond Leung (Scarred Memory). Nick Cheung brings emotional complexity to a meaty role and shows off an unseen side of his usual funnyman screen persona. Featuring stylish cinematography and gritty narrative flair, Day Off is a decidedly different genre film that proves compelling and rewarding. Nick Cheung gets serious in this low-budget 2001 hitman drama. He plays Lok, an ace hitman who’s suffering from the onset of glaucoma. If that’s not enough, he also pines for his lost love Catherine, cries for his dead friend Tomato, suffers angst over his estrangement from his father, and other assorted hitman-type sorrow. Lok also has a cute dog and a regular prostitute (Sherming Yiu) who visits him. And, to top off his miseries, he’s played by Nick Cheung. Things get weird when Lok meets Snow (Yoyo Lam), a convenience store clerk with an unnamed terminal disease. She’s one of those girls with an abnormally positive outlook, but that’s because her life is in the pits. She uses what time she has to generally make those around her happier. This intrigues Lok, who alters his usual patterns to stay near her. However, his life as a hitman takes a bad turn when he makes a crucial error. He seeks help from his agent Tony, but in doing so discovers that pieces of his life have been kept from him. Many of the things he was accustomed to doing over the years turn out to be misconceptions, or worse, straight-out lies. He decides he wants to find some redemption, but it may be too late...
