Treasure Hunt review: No real treasure
Little Lucas Tse (played by the real son of Cheung and Nicholas Tse), is cuter than he looks, but the kid needs to stay out of the set. What he should do now is watch and learn if he were ever to follow his parents' footsteps. His special appearance in the movie (as Cheung's screen son) might help boost ticket sales, but there isn't much to expect from the kid.
