In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

One Nite in Mongkok (2004)
A Chinese crime film by Derek Yee.
A prostitute and an assassin spend a night in the city, on the run from criminals and cops who all want them dead.
This was a pretty standard crime film. The only remarkable element was the death scenes. Eastern cultures usually tend to draw out death scenes in films longer than westerners would. Crime films aren't exactly my thing and this one was pretty much par for the course. I'm rating it o.k.
