S R Totally didn't expect this one. Showing a different side of communist organized crime. I expected it to have been less serious and more on the action side. Regardless, it was thought provoking and interesting. Saw on Tubi.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/01/22 Full Review isla s This is very much a bleak and sometimes quite gritty film. Its got a mostly urban setting and by the end its somewhat introspective. The main protagonist seems quite mysterious, which intrigued me a bit. I felt myself rooting for her at times. I did feel the film seemed a bit directionless at times, plot wise, which didn't help. As I say, there's a sobering side to what goes on, the principles and morals that are discussed. It's not a film that I found entirely memorable or would want to watch again but its ok. It had a bit of a feel of An Elephant Sitting Still, I thought. I'm not sure what else I could say but I'd only recommend it to people quite familiar with these sorts of films, who are prepared to give it a shot, if you know what I mean. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked it, though I was left feeling mostly just...sad, by the end. I found the characters a little too perplexing to love this film, but it is also one that has left me thinking about it a lot, so my opinion will probably only improve with time. At the end, I was left asking “but WHY?”. Given time to mull on it, I can see how deliberately this film follows the bigger themes of personal alienation and national alienation (I’m paraphrasing other reviews) as China develops and changes at an incredible pace. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/21 Full Review Audience Member The movie is totally disjointed and utterly disappointing, although it's interesting to see the Chinese culture. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member An honorable act of self sacrifice goes ignored, thus the plot of this film is propelled. Qiao's journey to find her man is kind of interesting in regards to the people she meets, but what I found really interesting here was the depiction of modern jianghu, which can have many interpretations as it turns out.
