Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 07/30/2021
Ultimately a loopy, stylized celebration of the kinds of byzantine, trap-laden suspensers that have delighted audiences from "The Purloined Letter" through Hitchcock's wronged-man oeuvre and the career of M. Night Shyamalan. Go to Full Review Richard Kuipers Variety 07/28/2021
The emotional stakes are so high and the plot so pacy and intricately woven that most viewers will gladly suspend disbelief and enjoy a ride packed with hair-raising close calls and narrow escapes. Go to Full Review Katie Rife AV Club 09/10/2020

Chen is delightfully wicked as the morally compromised chief of a corrupt and abusive police department, however, and the plot is engrossing enough to forgive the movie's excesses. Go to Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat 03/18/2021

Kennedi L 10/03/2024 This is one of the best movies what would stay in your mind for years to come. The young director just expert in telling the story with suspense and thrilling with twists. Joan Chen and Xiao Yang with their amazing portrayal of their respective role are in tandem to just make you glue every scene and curiously guessing what comes next. A must movie to watch See more 01/15/2021 Sheep Without a Shepherd See more 10/17/2020 Every bit as good as "Parasite" (perhaps even better) without the hype. A perfect picture of class disparities and a touching story of the lengths a father will go to protect his family. See more Read all reviews
