    Unable to finish the watching

    The story is illogical. Cannot give a high score, even though the actors act well. The jury members can be hypnotized just within a few second to change side? This is totally unthinkable.

    Nice story but still with little flaws

    A nice fiction movie with little flaw. A new type of fantasy story.

    A Bit Predictable, But Still Entertaining

    I went to the cinema with family without much expectation. Since Infernal Affairs success, HK cinema has tried hard to emulate and make "smart" movies. Many become over complicated and senseless. So I had not much expectation for this when I read the synopsis. Just thought that want to have some fun with family, and fun we had. The story is actually pretty straight forward, which is a good thing.
