"ROBIN boasts a crackerjack cast, Kaiser Chuang bestirs himself strenuously as a leading material with sizable ranges, he has both panache and anguish to spare; Both Hsu Wei-Ning, who plays Wang's colleague and superior Maggie and Alice Ko impress with their Janus-faced ability of their characters, and Mason Lee, the second son of maestro Ang Lee, is the one who really takes audience aback, his A-wei is a savage beast who can chill you to the bone, but Lee does not make him camp or grotesque, A-wei's outward nondescriptness is in equal measure with his inner savagery."

read my full review on my blog: cinema omnivore, thanks.

At the beginning, I just expect i will be watching an excited 'chase the murderer' movie. When it further develops, I am filled with many questions and find it harder to know the true until all fragments combine together. And it ends up reversing the plot, which is a bit like "The Invisible Guest". I am glad that other than Korea and Spain, we have that good Chinese director who can tell a dark side story in a decent way.

I didn't had a high hope for this movie even though it has high rating here on IMDB. Some films have high rates but they are not good, such as Blade Runner 2049. So, I even though this would turn out like Blade Runner 2049, but it didn't. And I must admit that It's kind of rare to see that an Asian film gets high rating like this, that's why I watched it.

The plot is so simple. The lead character, a journalist investigates a cold accident case happened nine years ago. The film mainly includes about the accident, how it happened and who the culprit was. As the movie goes, it gets interesting even though it's a little boring. But not as boring as Blade Runner 2049 and it didn't make me sleepy even when I was feeling sleepy because I was about to go to bed when I watched this film. But the film kept me awake.

The main thing I like the most is they presented the accident one by one. As the film goes, you'll know how the accident happened one by one. Even though it almost arrives to the end, the story is not complete, but it fits. When the movie is coming to the end, all things become clear and you know the truth about that accident. It's a kind of film that you won't know who the responsible people are if you don't watch to the end.

They really made the film to make people excited. Well, it worked on me. Some scenes are so exciting because of the background sound. So, nice work with sound editing and mixing.

There are four things that I don't like. One is the main character actor. I mean everybody likes handsome boys are on leading role. But it doesn't mean that the actor is terrible. The performance of that leading actor was great. Also all other actors and actresses'. It'd be great if there were pretty boys. It's just my opinion. Hehe.

Second is the background sound. I accept the fact that they should make the audience excited while watching the film. But they also made other unexciting scenes too. I found a scene which wasn't that much exciting, but they made it to excite the audience. What a waste!

Thirdly, the apartments. But I don't know how it seem to the other people. But as for me, according to the video quality of the film I've got, the apartments looked creepy and haunted. When I saw those apartments, I was afraid. Not to mention living there, just seeing made afraid. They should have made the environment a little bit warmer.

The final one is sex scenes. I mean do people really like a film only there are kissing and sex scenes? I think Asians have also considered like that. So, they put kissing and sex scenes in the film just to get high rates. As for me, it's really a bad idea and also it reduces the standard of a film. You can call me old-fashioned or whatever, but I rather like normal films without such scenes.

All in all, it's wrapping with mysteries. And it's reveal method is part by part. It's like watching the flower blossom petal by petal. But before the last one reveled, the story also fits. It's like a camouflage. That is the only thing that made me like this film.

I don't know why some people thought this film was a bad one. Even it's not great to those people, it should be a fine film. I saw some reviewers don't give their best to an Asian film but they give to American films. I don't know why they do that. But all films deserve equality. So, I'd say it's a good one for me. As for you all, even it's not your favourite, it should be enjoyable.

The carefully crafted scripts show the tension and appeal that far exceed imagination.

The most lacking of domestic films is this. The domestic film is just a few pieces of fresh meat thrown into the pot, with some licking pee, and began to cheat money.

The whole film is really not a turning point, and the veins are inherited but the blocks are distinct. You have me and me in you.

To make a metaphor, like taking a sightseeing train, passing through different scenic spots such as mountains, grasslands, forests, etc., but the forest is far from the mountains, the mountains are undulating and visible, and the end of the grassland is a forest. This is the feeling.

At the beginning of the film, I gave a skeleton to one of the core car accident cases, and then affixed the flesh and blood through the lies of different characters. In the middle of the process, I found that this person still holds another person, and the other person is the first one. The fur was given to the flesh and finally ended on the last page with a ghost story of 15 dollars. What appears in the eyes of the audience are two completely different people, one called the case and the other called the humanity.

The film's reflection on human nature is so simple but deep into the soul. Every one of us is constantly burying the mud of our own lies. In the end, everyone is completely unrecognizable. It is in the old saying that the surface of the dung egg is actually Everyone's bones are soaked in black by the mud.

Think again, the most confusing in the film, all become successful people, which is consistent with reality.

At the same time, the performance of each major character in the plot is a three-pointer, or easy, or nervous, or crazy, but every performance will make people feel that this role, at this time, this should be the case.

If you say the shortcomings, there are also one or two slight flaws. Such as: Aji did not give a clear explanation. These are all minute and innocuous.

I actually expected to see a well made thriller like Hitchcock but there is no Cock Tobin in this film at all.

The title misguides audiences who anticipated Cock Robin in this film...

And the story is split around in the casts members. It is hard to keep track of the story if there is a story at all.

I hope standardised story structure is needed for this local blockbuster.
