But during the investigation, Cham Lau's life is turned upside down when he crosses paths with Wong To, a criminal whose dark and terrible past is connected to Cham's own. In a hopeful effort to gain Cham's forgiveness and find her own form of redemption, Wong To offers to help the detectives find the serial killer. Now, caught between his resentment for Wong To and the heavy consequences of their shared past, Cham must find a way to both stop the killer and save the one person who can save him, too.

“Limbo” is an exceptional combination of elements that form great genre cinema, and one of the best action/crime thrillers we have seen recently.

Crooked Marquee

The procedural aspects are basic but effective, and Cheang focuses more on style and characterization than on investigative details.

Rated: B

Roger Moore

Movie Nation

A darker-than-dark Hong Kong serial killer thriller in the "Se7en" mold -- formulaic, but brutish and bleak and bloody-minded.

Rated: 3/4

At times, the cruelty on display is simply too much, and it starts to feel as if Cheang wallows in it for sensationalistic ends.

Rated: 2.5/4
