Sein Gesicht versteckt der exzentrische Detektiv Chong hinter einer Hornbrille, grauen Fransen und einem Rund-um-den-Mund-Bart. Als Veteran seines Fachs hat er fast alles schon erlebt, aber sein neuster Fall hat es in sich: Der blutige Tatort zeugt von einem fürchterlichen Mord, ein Täter stellt sich auch – doch die Leiche bleibt unauffindbar. Auf drei Zeitebenen erforscht Regisseur Philip Yung die Vergangenheit von Täter und Opfer und wirft altbackene Genreregeln über den Haufen. (Zurich Film Festival)

An intriguing thriller that, on the one hand, somewhat bored me with its pace, but on the other hand, I also thought that it wasn't that bad. Some scenes can be quite breathtaking, at least if you are not used to something like this. But then again, the pace picks up, which becomes quite exhausting. Slightly above average.

It's a pretty hyped crime drama. The pace is rather draggy and nothing of substance happens for the entire runtime. There are also a lot of flashbacks, which irritated me and made it hard to navigate, but I also praise the original theme along with the killer motif. I was also intrigued by the detail shown in the butchering, but for me this is insufficient. I would have much preferred if more people had died during the film, because the visuals and gore looked more than appealing. 60%.
