With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of anyone drawn to the darker side of the street and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Leaves you with something to think about. Fans of Cape Fear or Prisoners should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Tense, dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 38 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
In the summer of 1991, a rape case broke the peace of a small town. The fathers of two girls in the local middle school were the policemen in charge of the case.
