Pisau Cukur (Malay: "Razor Knife", but also metaphorically "Gold Digger") is a 2009 Malaysian Malay-language mystery comedy 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.[3]

Plot

The movie is about two best friends Bella (Maya Karin) and Intan (Nur Fazura) who go on vacation on a cruise ship. During the vacation, Bella searches for a rich husband which eventually leads her to Datuk Hisham (Eizlan Yusof), while Intan becomes involved with Ari (Aaron Aziz) in a murder case of the well known Datuk Zakaria Hitam (Rahim Razali).

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 in 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."[4]
