| For half of its duration, this Taiwanese kidnapping drama is awfully talky and mundane, only to better itself in the second half as the questions of mending rips in relationships in the face of tragedy inevitably enters. The best strengths shown by director Ke Yi Zheng is in the portrayal of the kidnapped kids and how they maintain and heightens their united power against opposing forces, leading to fair tension but also a sweet and telling ending for a movie that takes quite a while to warm up. Sylvia Chang and Eddie Chan stars. |
