I viewed this movies on VHS dubbed in English.
Some of my favorite films are the Silence of the Lambs sequence and 8mm. Although not as appealing to me, I have also watched and enjoyed Seven. After watching Tell Me Something twice, I have to question how one can compare the quality of this film to the other thriller classics.
To give it credit, this movie was high in production style, which is rarely found in Asian films. It also has a wonderful cast and their acting was definitely above average. On the other hand, the plot quality was highly questionable. The movie has more holes in it than swiss cheese. And, I am not referring to the places where room was left for the viewer's interpretation/imagination either.
Many of the events and surprises throughout the movie just suddenly appear without any previous storyline, explanation or even a slight bit of implication.
Too bad, with a little bit more work, this average somewhat disappointing movie would have been one of my favorites.
