Pisau Cukur (English:Razor Knife, but also metaphoricallyGold Digger) is a 2009MalaysianMalay-languagemystery comedy film directed by Bernard Chauly, which is his first comedy after his 2005 blockbuster break-out dramaGol & Gincu. It stars popular Malaysian actressesNur Fazura andMaya Karin, and Singaporean actorAaron Aziz,[4] and also features the debut film appearance ofHenry Golding.
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).
A collaboration by Red Films and Primeworks Studios, the movie is written by Rafidah Abdullah (host ofTV3's teen-oriented current affairs programme3R and writer forGol & 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."[5]

ComedianNabil Ahmad plays the owner of Restaurant Marina; the cruise ship's yoga teacher; and host for the ship's in-house entertainment programme "Siapa Nak Kahwin Jutawan" (Malay: "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire"), with Norman Abdul Halim ofKRU playing the millionaire in question, Imran. The film's script writer Rafidah Abdullah cameos as the receptionist at Camar Spa while her colleague in "3R", Kartini Arrifin plays a newsreader.Bernice Chauly appears briefly as a teacher.
