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."[4]
