Had I not read the synopsis, I guess I would have stopped watching after a very short time since the movie looks like two already boring movies interleaved. It is watchable. But it is not appealing. Characters are unlikable, especially the Chinese ones. Production is standard quality for an American movie (not sure it is American though). The central idea could have led to something more interesting than having two mostly unrelated storylines going on. Watch it if you have nothing else to do, or watch it while you do some chores like ironing, washing dishes.
