Action and comedy blend badly  in this lame effort by renowned directors....

The Pang brothers have been worthily credited for some of their movies. "The Eye" and "Bangkok Dangerous" were both excellent films. "Leave Me Alone" though is a complete U-turn to those other efforts. Film centres round a pair of twins, with one substituting for the other to help sort out his debt problems to loan sharks. The twist is though that one is gay and the other is straight. Cue the flogged to death jokes and you get the idea.

Action is poorly handled (and quite unexciting), acting is nothing special and the storyline never really grabs you. One film that is certainly best well left alone, and I just hope that the directors get back on track!

Cantonese cinema from Hong Kong is globally recognized for its action films, martial arts epics, and romantic melodramas. Its innovation in choreography, editing, and atmosphere continues to set new standards for genre filmmaking.

The comedy genre refers to a category of entertainment that aims to amuse and entertain audiences by using humor, wit, and comedic situations.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.

Yiu Chun-Man, a gay fashion designer in Hong Kong, gets a visit from twin brother Yiu Chun-Kit. Kit is visiting from Thailand and promptly takes Man's expensive car out for a spin and gets into a horrendous accident in which a woamn dies, and Kit was driving with Man's license. Since the revelation of Kit's true identity would be a real legal tangle, Kit is forced to assume Man's identity and vice-versa. Even worse, Kit is now in a coma, meaning Man has to hang out at his bro's bedside hoping that he can clue him into the switcheroo as soon as he wakes up.
