      Live life to the fullest with no regrets.

      I've been a fan of Asian movies overall since I'm from the same region so I had my instinct saying to watch this as it would tickle my movie buff in me and it sure did.

      The main character is a serial killer. It displays the world of crime and it is thrilling to The movie will keep you guessing from the start to the end. This movie is a story within itself. It starts out on a bang and ends on a bang too.

      Acting and the cast has been brilliant on the movie. They have been hard at acting and don't let you down for a second. The soundtracks in the movie are so amazing. I love all of them especially the theme song "The New Creation" by Enno Cheng. Huge shoutout to all the people involved in the movie especially the musical department.

      The only thing why i didn't rate it a perfect 10 is due to the fact that they dragged the cult religion segment more than needed. Other than that the movie is 10/10.

      Definitely worth watching Bravo!

      To those suggesting the film is from mainland China, it's important to clarify that, although I am from mainland China myself, this movie was entirely produced in Taiwan. The title may draw inspiration from a Chinese fable, but the creation is Taiwanese. It's crucial not to misattribute achievements or claim recognition undeservedly. Acknowledging our current position without misleading ourselves is vital. I've observed a significant increase in the quality of Taiwanese TV series and films recently, which meet international standards and indicate a thriving industry. In comparison, the market in mainland China faces different challenges. I greatly respect and admire the Taiwanese film industry for its distinct path and the quality it has achieved.

      I created my account just for this movie

      Oftentimes, I refer to IMDb for the reviews of the show before watching it.

      True to its rating (7.5 at the time of writing), it's a show with depth. This is unlike other movies you've watched.

      I liked that the synopsis provided an insight, yet not enough for you to expect what is to come for the show. I could not find any roles that had acted badly in the show, all the actors/actresses were befitting to their roles albeit small/big. Ethan has yet again showed that he's really the new blood.

      The 140mins spent on the movie was really worth it. Catch it, you won't regret it.

      It's laughable that someone had given 3/10.

      Weirdly stupid and unbelievable but interesting and watchable

      The storyline is absolutely unbelievable and unrealistic, Taiwanese or not. But what makes this movie entertaining is the fast edits and well paced story which has a new turn every few minutes.

      The cinematography is excellent and the direction seems to be on point as well but the dialogues and delivery are also not the best. Acting is fine but also nothing out of the ordinary.

      Some scenes are exceptionally well executed and some are utterly bogus. Movie is long and sometimes, by the end, it felt like a drag.

      Overall though, it was very entertaining and enjoyable. Sunday evening and you're looking for something easy, fun, forgettable, and not to intellectual to watch, this movie won't disappoint you.

      A must watch Chinese film 2023

      This had to be the best Chinese film I watch this year. The chasing fight was intense and brutal , powerful script writing that bring u in character changes. All cast superb in their acting. Bring a lot of memories when it's show the style of classic Hong Kong filming..Too bad this movie not well publize to some Country due to its sensitive content. Taiwan movie really improve year by year , willing to challenge all type of content. Its show to some movie maker u don't have to bring in traffic star or big production to make a good movie. This the only Chinese film I proud to show my foreigner friends in 2023.
