Audience Member A very cool well-written and well-directed thriller about the hidden dirty secrets of the new rich in Mainland China. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member satifcation didnt bring it back Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member An outstanding suspense movie from mainland China. Very commercial. Though the plot is predictable, the excellent performance from the 5 actors/actresses and the way Yibai told the story made me can't take my eyes off the screen. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Second attempt from Zhang Yibai has quite a commersial appeal, with bigger budget, bigger stars and a hitchcockian mystery plot. Alas, this also means that it lacks the joyful experimental feel and rulebreaking of Zhangs debut work. Told in different perspectives, the story drags out a bit and frankly becomes quite messy. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Intelligent thriller with well developed characters and some social commentary. and who the fuck listed this a Bollywood film? Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is an interesting slow paced suspense movie, used multiple view points, one by one, to tell the story. The starting question is ... why the woman having an affair with the husband opens a shop in the same building the husband is living at. Any evil plan? Some questions got answered in subsequent view points, with some new questions introduced to arise my interest in the next view point. There are also some subtle cues (e.g., props in the background) to the mystery that are not narrated but could be noticed by the viewers. I enjoy watching this movie. It is not perfect. There are some minor problems. For example, the title does not match the story very well. I was misled by the title that the security play a central role. Actually, the movie has several main characters, and the security guard is merely of them. Moreover, there are some scenes that I don't understand very well, especially the last scene. Nevertheless, this movie is a very good attempt. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
