Plot: Billy Chan returns from the US to Hong Kong. He's a nasty, manipulative guy who knows no shame. He's also quite handsome, so he has multiple women vying for his attention. Billy doesn't even hide that he's dating two of them simultaneously, but he may have underestimated how jealous they are.

2.5*/5.0*

For a Cat III film, this is pretty tame. As a regular thriller, I didn't mind it so much. There are some decent scenes and the presentation is pleasant, though it never rises above itself and there are plenty of films alike which deliver the exact same thing. Apart from the finale, this is generic genre fare.

The plot is a little iffy and the performances aren't great, but the pacing is good, the film looks nice and there are a handful of memorable moments. It's not a Hong Kong highlight, certainly not considering its year of release, but for those who have seen all the big Hong Kong films already, it's decent enough filler.
