Just like the movie said, we are living in "a world of chaos and questions". One simple funeral exposed the ugliness and true beauty of beings. We live without questioning until we encounter an incident that gives us a chance to think, to understand and to seek the true us inside us.
When I started to watch this movie, I was expecting some boring redundancies like many other British movies; I even put my hand on the FF button. However I stopped. I was wrong AGAIN. All those small details pictured a funny yet meaningful story. Not only it brought us laughters, more importantly, it gave us a chance to watch ourselves in the movie. Ever single person from Simon to Peter, represents one of us, crazy, selfish, busy, faithless but with a golden heart hidden deep inside.
Someday we will all die just like "dad". But what we will be remembered as who we are, not for bad behaviors but for good deeds. Because we know there are "Daniels" at our funerals.

Due to many reasons such as censorship, financial problems etc. Chinese movie industry has been at the bottom of food chain for decades. Only few people can make money from movie industry without the help of government. Later, many directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen kaige turn to make all those blockbuster movies with high volume of investment. However, it does not seems to be a good way to keep Chinese movies alive. Empty plots, awkward performance of good-looking actors and actresses could not save movies. They are rip off money from people once, twice but never thrice.
Crazy Stone was born under the circumstance that Chinese people are so disappointed by those movies made by zhang Yimou and Chen kaige that they only spend few us dollars buying illegal DVD copies on streets rather than going to movie cinemas. The enriched plot, excellent performances of unknown actors and hilarious story save the last hope of this country's movies. The movie is produced by famous Hongkong actor Andy Lau's company with very little investment, however, it does not bother the quality at all. In fact, the quality is I believe as one of the best in Chinese movie history.
All those black humors in the movies deserve to be mentioned. However, people who have not lived in China for years could not understand why it's funny, or even worse, it kills interests of people who get used to the vision effects of Hollywood productions or the romance and depressions of European movies.
In a conclusion, this movie is highly recommended for people who are living in China and would like to learn about this country. Hopefully, you will enjoy and understand it.

This movie is the worst one of Statham. It doesn't even make too much sense.
The worst part of this movie is the actors and actresses. I cannot believe why they hire a bunch of people to do this. Their acting is so fake.
The drama could be better, but it seems to be really low-quality.
The music is terrible. It makes this bad movie even worse.
It tries to copy Heat, but they couldn't do it. Heat is a master piece of Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro. Their acting are the best. Jason Statham never let me down, but this time is an exception.
I wouldn't suggest spent 20 bucks on going to cinema to watch this movie. It does not worth it.
