Story line:
The story of Life Without Principle unfolds with three interconnected plotlines involving people from different walks of life. Forced to sell high-risk investment products to her clients, bank teller Teresa (Denise Ho) is tempted to steal a big bag of cash that belonged to her wealthy client Yuen (Lo Hoi Pang). Meanwhile, small-time gangster Panther (Lau Ching Wan) attempts to rob loan shark Yuen in a bid to help his debt-ridden cousin Dragon (Philip Keung), who suffered huge loss on black market futures when the financial crisis hit. Investigating the case is upright police inspector Cheung (Richie Jen), who also has a heavy financial burden on his shoulder as his wife Connie (Myolie Wu) is eager to buy a luxurious apartment they can't quite afford.

The Skinny:Life Without Principle is a razor sharp look at Hong Kong and its obsession with money, and captures the local zeitgeist in a way Johnnie To never has before. Incomplete story and characters drop this one down a notch, but this is an incisive, smart and well-observed film. Not Johnnie To's best, but expecting that is simply asking too much.
