Just when Malaysian Chinese are gearing up for the Lunar New Year celebration, security guard Ah Beng (Jack Lim) receives a call from his company. He is asked to cancel his Lunar New Year holiday for a “simple” mission, which infuriates him. However, Ah Beng immediately changes his mind when he discovers that the mission promises a handsome reward of RM1 million.

With his task on hand, Ah Beng goes to Korea with his friend Ah Hien (Jeff Chin) to meet up with an old couple (Remon Lim & Albert Nico). He has to sign a will involving a sizeable inheritance of RM500 million.

For the mission, Ah Beng has to disguise himself as Mark Ma, a rich man’s long lost son. Mark is a professional bodyguard and has an attractive younger sister, Maggie Ma (Yumi Wong).  Behind her pretty smile, Maggie, also has her own secrets!

Ah Beng’s seemingly simple mission, which only requires his signature, eventually implicates his entire family, even affecting Ah Beng’s relationship with “Salted Fish” Lian’s (Ah Yoke) relationship. His good friends, Rain and Bobby (Royce & Bernard) are caught in the mess too.

Ah Beng faces a challenge of making tough decisions when Mark’s sister, Maggie, “Salted Fish” Lian and Ah Beng’s parents are kidnapped by different parties at the same time!

How will Ah Beng solve this impossible mission? Will he succeed?

Ah Beng’s thrilling adventure begins…

My Comments:  I am back again for my first Chinese New Year movie of the year 2014 and I kicked off with this famous Astro Local Comedy Show called Ah Beng watched at TGV 1 Utama. Now besides Ah Beng being showed at Astro, you can also see him on cinema screen as usual. This is the 4th installment of Ah Beng movie and this year would be better than last year. If you remembered last year where ME & Kimmy gave a bad review on the previous year movie but this year it has a tremendous improvement and it's back to action once again.

Overall, the same old plot accompanied by some fresh faces in Ah Beng movie installment and it gives positive results to this movie. The movie gave its audiences lots of laughter and most importantly the storyline is good and not crappy. The most notable actor besides Ah Beng would be Ah Hian (Jeff Chin) which almost grab the most attention on this movie with his jokes and credibility. The combination of Ah Beng and Ah Hian paid handsomely where both of them give its audiences some good laugh and not forgetting some lovely action which gives this movie more 'kick'. You want jokes, romance and even action can be found in this movie. I would say Ah Beng 2014 movie is not like the old 2013 installment anymore and this year would be much more better.

No regrets! This is what I want to say if the old installment still hunts you in your mind. Do give Ah Beng: Mission Impossible another chance and you have no regrets watching this movie. At least I do laugh almost every minute throughout the movie and I did enjoyed it. I set low expectation but it gave me reverse results. A good and lovely Chinese New Year movie to kick start. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5
