Lion (Ekin Cheng) leads a group of five “brothers” — they all met as kids while in an orphanage and consider themselves family — in a Robin Hood-like mission to steal valuable and expensive medicines from a pharmaceutical company to help African children. Lion’s girlfriend works somewhere in Africa — no one bothers to even say which of the 54 African countries it is — for a Chinese relief agency.





But the mission goes awry. It turns out the truck they commandeer is hauling gold bricks, not drugs, and the man for whom the treasure was intended is not happy about it.





SEE ANY AFRICANS??





Filmed in a variety of picturesque locations — Montenegro, Mongolia, Hungary, Japan, Taiwan and China — and filled with a symphony of explosions, gun fire and car crashes, “Golden Job” covers the basics of the genre. Stunt coordinator turned director/co-writer Kar Lok Chin doesn’t skimp on the pyrotechnics or the action. But, like the forgettable rock and hip-hop in the score, all of it feels borrowed from other, better movies.
