Now I'm normally quick to defend movies in the "serial killer" sub genre. There are some great films to come out of it, such as Kim Jee Woon's "I Saw the Devil" and Sion Sono's "Coldfish", but this film just seems like Category III gore trash.
I watched this mainly to see Simon Yam and wasn't expecting a masterpiece, but I was shocked. This was severely underwhelming.
The plot's very cliché, nothing that stands out to make it really interesting. It's laid out terribly, there is a scene that goes on for minutes of cops playing poker, which is hardly relevant. It gets very repetitive by the end.
The acting is horrible, including Yam's, which is unfortunate. This is almost embarrassing. I guess it has to do with the dialogue. Some lines are written for some dark comic relief, but it's hard to distinguish from the regular dialogue.
Finally, the ending is very unsatisfactory.
I suggest you avoid this, even you Yamster fans.
