It belongs to Zhang Jiahui's one-man performance. In his deep calm eyes, how many feelings are condensed in it. After the intense fragments at the beginning of the film, the plot followed with a slightly protracted rhythm. Although the lenses are changed to increase the depth of the content, the overall plot is slightly pale. I have to say that the actors in Hong Kong are really good.

Poignant and intelligent thriller. A little over acted but great storyline and some haunting scenes. The "explanation" at the end was a little over the top but I can live with it. Certainly way better than the average Hollywood fodder. That said I have no doubt it will be remade by some lazy Hollywood studio.

A solid try/stab at a crime thriller. Unfortunately this isn't as good as you might hope for. It aims high but can't quite deliver on that promise. Apart from story flaws (and/or the predictability of its twists and turns) even some of the well known actors are a bit of a letdown. Especially the "villain" of the piece goes really OTT in a very bad way that is. You can still watch the movie and enjoy it, it's just that you might want to use that time and watch a better movie. The thrill factor isn't that high, unless you really can avoid guessing where this is heading. I can't imagine how that would be possible, but who knows. Not completely bad, but really not good either
