I'm not going to repeat all the plot details like the other 5 or 6 reviewers have done. By reading them, you likely already have a pretty good, basic idea of the story : )

But, I will say that I thought the film was very well done, extremely clever and involving. Well acted throughout by all involved (DAMN... is it somehow racist to say that I swear these Chinese actors are almost always amazing!) What really makes the movie is the clever plotting and what also really impressed me was the added dimension towards the end where perhaps one's impression of certain people may not turn out to be quite what you expected (is that vague enough :D) This really gives what already is a great film, a further layer of depth and character.

Seriously though... I really liked the characters. The powerful businessman was quite smooth, the prosecutor very focused and determined, and what is interesting is the bearing and manner of the defense counsel. Right from the beginning her manner strikes you as rather odd, but that is just another well thought out development of this excellent and entertaining story.

If you like clever Crime Thrillers, especially ones with a lot of turns of subtlety, and you hopefully don't mind reading subtitles (assuming of course that you do not already speak Chinese) you should really enjoy this slightly complex, yet very riveting film...

The biggest highlight of the movie is the rhythm is very fast. Relying on different characters' perspectives, it manages to connect them into a seamless case with the best plot twists.

It starts with a court room scene of a 20 year old girl having murdered her fathers girlfriend and the arguments in favour and against it. The father is a multi billionaire who goes to do anything to save his child and Prosecutor is a enemy of the father having tried various times in the past to lock him up but fails

It's one of the most matured court drama thriller of recent times with fantastic performances from the lead cast. It's narrated from each characters perspective revealing the truth slowly and more gracefully. The plot is intense with a logical and gripping screenplay enacted by lead actors so beautifully that it turns out to be an excellent masterpiece. The suspense gets revealed at each twists but still holds the audience at the edge of the seat with some twists which are unpredictable. The final revelation is master stroke and brilliant and also brings out the emotional quotient. Kudos

It's a must watch for extra ordinary screenplay and performances

Tough for me to get it at my first watch. I have to watch again. The incedents happening were very unpredictable & I were in a big confusion throughout the movie. But after rearranging it seems cool..

I seldom watch movie and wonder if it is rare to have courtroom movie in China. Anyway this one is terrific and resemble Western Court. The plot is well written, with surprise to attract your eye ball.

Aaron Kwok 's acting is ok. All along he performs the role of prosecutor well. But the role itself has not much room to apply his already mature acting skill. Anyway he is very smart looking and cool.

A very hardworking actor amd singer. Congratulation for him to become a father of two angels.
