A fine Ching-Po Wong film, with some powerful and memorable moments, but also a couple of lulls that keep the film from reaching its full potential. The middle part, with the narrative reboot, would've been tough for any director to overcome, but Wong really struggled to get the second half on the rails.
So apart from an intro and outro, we get two separate stories. The highlights of the film are impressive, Wong's a good director and he had an excellent crew at his disposal, but there's a bit too much filler and the runtime is quite long. Worth a watch if you like Taiwanese crime films, but I was hoping for a little more.
