    humorous and engaging tale; nice balance between story and action; well fleshed-out characters..this movie entertains, as does the two that came out afterwards. Enjoyable watch..

    Great combination of action, drama and comedy. This falls into the category of movies you wish there were more of.

    a very funny and interesting movie. The storyline was very good and the comical sense of this movie drifted me away.

    Funny! So funny in fact, that i almost choked on whatever i was eating on more than one occasion! I had no idea there was some pretty sweet Kung Fu action as well. That's always a plus with me!

    I was looking forward to this movie for a long time, and i was somewhat disappointed...( read more), but then that's me and my high expectations' fault.

    My Wife is a Gangster is unique blend of different genres: action, comedy, and drama. It's main focus is on comedy, so don't see this movie thinking it is wall to wall action. It does have a couple of great fight scenes - one in the rain, one in a field of tall grass, and ...( read more)one in the rival gang's hideout. The action choreography and camera work is done superbly, very stylish. The movie has some great comedy and also has some drama thrown in, which is done to great effect. Overall, this movie works and is unique in it's own right.
