3/10
Acupuncture with Side Effects
19 July 2010
Moderately watchable by-the-numbers giallo without the stylishness and flamboyant set-pieces of the best ones, but, fortunately, without the excessive absurdities and logical flaws of the worst ones either. (Though there's still enough silliness and idiocy left intact to keep the most fervent genre fan satisfied; not to mention the exploitative attitude giallos are notorious for.)

After a strong first half hour, the plot loses momentum up to a lame denouement, followed by the usual ridiculous psychobabble.

At least, the pace never flags and the actors are above average.
