I watched this on a flight from Los Angeles to Auckland, New Zealand and was immediately struck by the contemplative, atmospheric quality given to the production. I like Karen Mok as an actress and she is able to stretch out here a bit. She plays Su Dan, a passenger in a taxi driven by veteran actor Eric Tsang (who is barely in this). The taxi veers out of control and goes into the river, which was considered a suicide for Mr. Tsang's character. Su Dan ends up with a compound leg fracture and is offered and accepts to stay with the wife of the cabbie and her son. There are tensions and its also a bit of a coming of age story. For once, Karen Mok is not just sexy eye candy and I liked her in this role, she did a good job. The story is simple and slow moving, but it has a sustainable rhythm that makes it worth watching. Not for fans of action or comedy, this drama is about real life, choices and secrets we keep. It is worth watching.
