      Engaging Movie...

      Ethan Juan's performance is outstanding. The movie's background music is equally impressive , perfectly complementing the tone and pace of each scene. The dialogues are particularly noteworthy, adding depth to the narrative. Overall , the movie flows smoothly, keeping the viewer engaged.

      Remember his name is Chen Kui-lin

      PLOT :: The arrogant , third most-wanted criminal in Taiwan , decides to get rid of the top two competitors and crowns himself the most - wanted criminal before dying. Upon discovering he's only Taiwan's third-most-wanted fugitive , an ambitious criminal embarks on a quest to overtake the top two.

      A beautiful mess

      A twisted comedy thriller, starring Ethan Ruan as gangster who discovers he is only the 3rd most wanted in Taiwan. Well, that's no legacy, so he quickly plans to eliminate his competitors for the crown. Structurally this film is all over the place, but who cares? I can't remember the last time I had so much fun watching a movie. Played 100% straight, the astonishing comedy comes from the premise itself. No matter how brutally intense the film becomes, it's all hanging off the most ridiculous plot - turning the relentlessly violent proceedings into pure hilarity.

      Some terrific performances from Gingle Wang, Yi-wen Chen, Lee-zen Lee and the ever wonderful Peggy Tseng. But this is Ethan's film and he's as compelling as always.

      Watched an exciting movie

      Wanted criminal Chen Guilin (played by Ruan Jingtian) is at the end of his life, only to find himself ranked third on the wanted list. He is determined to investigate the whereabouts of the top two wanted criminals and eliminate them one by one. Chen Guilin thought that he had become a contemporary elimination of the three evils in the world, but he did not expect that the never-ending greed, anger, and ignorance would be the sin and punishment that one must face in life.

      Ruan Jingtian used violence to suppress violence, and Wang Jing made his debut on the mainland's big screen! It's not easy to introduce this movie from mainland China.

      One of the BEST film in 2023

      I have ZERO expectation when I got into the theater, FULL of surprise when I left. Taiwan's movies are getting better and better.

      The chase scenes are tense and the fight scenes are fiery, full of Taiwan's unique characteristics. There was one scene that I really want to scream at the theater, so good so good. (You know which scene I'm talking about if you watch the film, I give you 10 second to think or LEAVE)

      The characters are well developed. Every actor did a great job, especially Ethan Juan, Ben Yuen and Yi-Wen Chen.

      The story contains Buddhist principles, is meaningful and full of fun. The Chinese name 'Zhou chu chu san hai' has a inspiring story behind. If interested, you can go check it out.

      Really worth seeing.

      Live life to the fullest with no regrets.

      I've been a fan of Asian movies overall since I'm from the same region so I had my instinct saying to watch this as it would tickle my movie buff in me and it sure did.

      The main character is a serial killer. It displays the world of crime and it is thrilling to The movie will keep you guessing from the start to the end. This movie is a story within itself. It starts out on a bang and ends on a bang too.

      Acting and the cast has been brilliant on the movie. They have been hard at acting and don't let you down for a second. The soundtracks in the movie are so amazing. I love all of them especially the theme song "The New Creation" by Enno Cheng. Huge shoutout to all the people involved in the movie especially the musical department.

      The only thing why i didn't rate it a perfect 10 is due to the fact that they dragged the cult religion segment more than needed. Other than that the movie is 10/10.
