Chongqing Hot Pot

Newly Added • 1h 38m

Directed by Yang Qing • 2016 • China
Starring Chen Kun, Bai Baihe, Qin Hao

This wild, genre-blasting blend of rollicking comedy and blood-spattered crime caper follows three friends who, when they open a hot pot restaurant in a former bomb shelter, are surprised to discover that it’s linked by a single wall to the bank vault next door. While deciding whether to take the easy money or go to the police, they find that one of the bank’s disgruntled employees is a former classmate—just the woman they need to help them cook up a most audacious heist.
