The screenplay, especially the dialogue, is strong for a Hong Kong film. It has a promising premise, and some strong performance from the Hong Kong & Japan cast.
The visual style turns a bit messy and pretentious as the film goes on. And, please, no more English dialogue. It's a trend in recent Hong Kong cinema. It just doesn't work.
