I have to say it's same kind of thriller movie like "Sea of Love" because the plot n characters are similar: lonely alcoholic detective in love with female serial killer suspect.
The movie has great effective cinematography. I started to follow the story since the first shot. After 15 minutes and couple sequences, I was totally in the story until the movie title suddenly start at that pint: why it has to be there???
After the title, it was good, until the mystery is solved, it start to lose the audience. looks like nothing left to tell, so just killed the time.
In the end, I felt unsatisfied, and I felt less attached to the main characters, even disliked the male role because he forced the woman to sleep with him then he sold her.
Overall, the movie is still worth to watch. The picture looks great, many scene has good mood, and it's still a well directed movie.
By the way, the director and the main actress are from Taiwan and the story takes place in norther China (where I was born), so I couldn't help noticing the unrealistic accent n character n settings.
