7/10
Captivating premise. Lower your expectations.
15 April 2023
Contrary to the fun trailers of this movie, the movie itself is quite serious.

The main cast consists of many A-list actors and actresses that dazzled in their respective roles. Personally, Michael Fitzgerald Wong caught my attention and outperformed the rest. His role as legal advisor of the Chung family is just so natural.

Dayo Wong is more widely known for his roles that have comedic elements. However, it is safe to say that he has done a good job here as the guilty conscience lawyer.

Although the plot keeps you eager to follow what happens next, there are times where the storyline becomes a tad too cliché and a bit boring. The unexpected ending is a major highlight, but dampened by the somewhat unrealistic courtroom finale.

Honestly, I had expected more from Hong Kong's highest grossing film of all time. It is among one of Hong Kong's greatest courtroom movies, but unfortunately not one of its greatest films.
