Wikipedia article
'Pisau Cukur' (Malay: "Razor Knife", but also metaphorically "Gold Digger") is a 2009 Malaysian comedy-drama film directed by Bernard Chauly, which is his first comedy after his 2005 blockbuster break-out drama 'Gol & Gincu'. It stars popular Malaysian actresses Nur Fazura and Maya Karin, and also Singaporean actor Aaron Aziz.
Plot
"Pisau Cukur" is about two best friends Bella (Maya Karin) and Intan (Nur Fazura) who goes on a vacation in a cruise ship. During the vacation, Bella searches for a rich husband, while Intan is involved in a murder case of a well known Datuk.
Development
A collaboration by Red Films and Primeworks Studios, the movie is written by Rafidah Abdullah (host of TV3's teen-oriented current affairs programme '3R' and writer for 'Gol & Gincu'). She has contributed towards a movie that is bound to create controversy among certain quarters. However, as the director has told the press, "People should watch and value the movie themselves because a quality movie will go beyond the superficial elements and entertain nevertheless."
