Godspeed (Chinese: 一路順風) is a 2016 Taiwanese black comedy road caper film written and directed by Chung Mong-hong and starring Michael Hui and Nadow. The film had its world premiere at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival on 14 September 2016[3] and was theatrically released in Taiwan on 18 November.

Plot[]

Nadow (Nadow) is a jobless punk who often engages in stealing and cheating. One day, when he decides to find a stable job, he accidentally becomes a drug trafficker. On one occasion while transporting drugs, Nadow gets onto a taxi driven by Old Hui (Michael Hui), a Hong Konger married to a Taiwanese woman. A failed businessman in the past, Hui's only financial support is his old taxi which not many passengers are willing to ride. Old Hui and Nadow, two people of different backgrounds and personalities, ride down south together.

What seems like an ordinary delivery trip causes the duo to be entangled in an extortion case and a murder case involving rival gangs. As their journey and lives constantly changes, it also tests their trust for each other and their newly formed friendship. Just when their lives were at stake, everything seems to have been pre-arranged.
