Plot.

Wang is a gloomy, cunning and avaricious noodle shop owner in a desert town in China. His neglected, sharp-tongued wife is involved in a secret affair with Li, one of Wang’s employees. A timid man, Li reluctantly keeps the gun his lover has bought to kill her husband. But Wang is watching their every move. He bribes patrol officer Zhang to murder the illicit couple. It seems like a perfect plan: the affair will come to a cruel, bloody but satisfying end or so he thinks. The equally wicked Zhang has an agenda of his own. As the plot twists, more blood will flow, and ever greater violence will erupt.

Wiki.

A Simple Noodle Story (simplified Chinese: 三枪拍案惊奇; traditional Chinese: 三槍拍案驚奇; pinyin: Sānqiāng Pāi'àn Jīngqí), internationally A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop. is a 2009 film directed by Zhang Yimou. Described as a cross between screwball comedy and thriller, the film stars Sun Honglei and Ni Dahong in the thriller segment while comedians Xiaoshenyang and Yan Ni star in the comedic segment.

A Chinese remake of the 1984 American film Blood Simple, the debut of the Coen brothers, the plot transports the original film's town in Texas to a noodle shop in a small desert town in Gansu province. The film has been described as a considerable departure from the director's previous works.
