This movie is supposed to be a crime investigation, it was supposed to be full of energy and speed. But it just turned out to be so slow and spiritless. The tempo was so slow that you didn't even have the patience to sit through it. The acting of all the participants were also in a very sleepy way, even the soundtrack was so slow. I really don't know why the director decided to shoot a homicide case with such a slow process. The guy who played the one of the two leading Chinese detectives was like a bum, a homeless guy who's so hungry that he got no energy at all to investigate the case, but at the same time, as the screenplay set up a romance scenario, he had to act like he gradually fell for the woman involved the case.
Yeah, the summer temperature in Changsha might be very hot, but the cops shouldn't lose their energy like sleep-walking Zombies.
