Firstly, I really liked the movie. I thought it was very well done and the idea behind it is rather clever. It is primarily a Crime / Psychological Thriller with just a touch of Science Fiction having to do with the memory procedure.
Secondly, I see that for some odd reason, people seem to be downvoting all the positive reviews. I don't understand why ones would do that. But, downvoted or not, I very much liked this film and gave it a strong '8', which FWIW is rather rare for me to rate a movie that highly.
Something else I really liked was the cinematography and set design. It was fairly subtle and not intrusive or overbearing at all, but just some really nice touches such as the memory center and the guy's office inside it. The machinery used in the procedure, and just the way things were lit and the really textured buildings and the way some of the rooms were dressed. Like I say, it was fairly subtle, but I really liked some of the imaginative touches that gave the film a lot of flavour.
Be ready for some nice twists of course. Some of these Chinese Thrillers do that kind of thing really well and this is most definitely one of them.
Highly recommended!
