Lost and Found is a 1996 Hong Kong romantic comedy film directed by Lee Chi-Ngai, who is also the writer of the movie. It stars Takeshi Kaneshiro, Kelly Chen, and Michael Wong in the lead roles. The film tells the story of a Tokyo-based unorthodox detective, Ken (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and his assistant, Mark (Michael Wong), who go on a business trip to Hong Kong to meet a female client. However, their trip takes an unexpected turn when they realize that their client has gone missing, and they end up getting involved in a complex love triangle with a young girl, Sally (Kelly Chen).

The story begins with Ken, who is a private investigator, living a monotonous life in Tokyo until he meets his new client, a beautiful and mysterious woman named Sumiko. She hires him to travel to Hong Kong to retrieve a valuable painting that belongs to her, but things do not go as planned when Ken and Mark reach Hong Kong. Upon their arrival, they discover that Sumiko has disappeared without a trace, leaving them with no clue about her whereabouts or the painting they were supposed to retrieve.

During their search for Sumiko and the painting, Ken and Mark encounter Sally, a young cab driver who gets caught up in their investigation. Sally becomes an essential part of the story as the three of them try to solve the mystery of the missing woman and the painting. Along the way, Ken and Sally develop feelings for each other, but their relationship is complicated as they both have different agendas that they are trying to accomplish.

The chemistry between the lead actors is commendable, especially between Takeshi Kaneshiro and Kelly Chen, who share an undeniable spark every time they are on screen together. Michael Wong contributes his own charm to the story as well, bringing balance and a sense of calm to the otherwise chaotic and high-energy movie.

As the story unfolds, the audience is taken on a rollercoaster journey that explores themes of love, betrayal, and the power of art. The film works well for audiences of all ages, and its universal themes make it an enjoyable watch for people from all walks of life.
