Billy Chung (Love To Kill, Shiver) taps into the charisma of crucial performers Jordan Chan, Alex Fong and Simon Loui, even getting subtle weight from the interactions of the characters but at the end of the day, nothing much of importance or akin to special goes on in The Cheaters. Chung seems to be aware of that as he populates the proceedings with highly intrusive MTV style that simply screams desperate to please rather than earning a spot as part of the atmosphere. The final 20 minutes of this relatively short thriller plays out decently though as Chung clearly has a grip on how to provide decent tension but the implausible nature to the twists can really drive you up the wall if it weren't for the atmosphere Chung finally provides.

Now celebrated director Edmond Pang (Men Suddenly In Black, Beyond Our Ken) co-wrote the script.
