Fly By Night

In this Malaysian crime thriller, a gang of cabbies run an extortion racket on their wealthiest passengers—until greed, the law, and making a move on the wrong target threaten to bring the whole enterprise crashing down.

"Working a lucrative racket, the crew are given a heads-up on wealthy passengers arriving at the airport and take detailed notes on their fares, figuring out later which information and threats can best extort cash out of them. Led by Tailo (Sunny Pang), they’re on to a good thing until police start to take an interest and some of the gang grow reckless and greedy. Chaos is accelerated when Ah Wai (Fabian Loo) bites off more than he can chew on a side hustle and draws the ire of a criminally connected casino owner (a rivetingly over-the-top Frederick Lee). Their once-cruisy capers are now at risk of turning into a flaming wreck." (NZ International Film Festival)
