A day in the life of Ming Ding begins as a pair of hammer-wielding loan sharks come to the door of Ming's squalid apartment. Their ultimatum, delivered in Mandarin, is as simple as it is virtually impossible to fulfill, needing to give them $800 by the evening or the debt will be doubled. With the family he supports half a world away, Ming has a single rain-soaked shift at his job in which to pay off his thuggish creditors. Ming Ding anonymously and almost wordlessly delivers Chinese food on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
That's from the DVD's description. And it had a sort of grittiness to it (though at times it seemed amateurish). Then, as it is about to end, he gets into an elevator and two hip-hoppers start to rob him, one pulls out a gun, and I turned it off.
