Hongkong wird von einer Serie brutaler Morde erschüttert. Ein skrupelloser Killer macht Jagd auf Frauen und hinterlässt die abgetrennten Hände seiner Opfer überall in der Stadt. Detective Cham Lau (Gordon Lam Ka-Tung) und sein Kollege Will Ren (Mason Lee) werden mit dem Fall betraut. Als ihnen bei den Ermittlungen die junge Wong To (Liu Yase) über den Weg läuft, gerät Chams Welt aus den Fugen. Das Mädchen ist verantwortlich für einen schrecklichen Unfall, der einst Chams Leben zerstört hat. Zwischen seinem Hass auf To und den schweren Folgen ihrer gemeinsamen Vergangenheit, verliert der erfahrene Cop beinahe das Ziel aus den Augen. Bis es fast zu spät ist, die einzige Person zu retten, die auch ihn retten kann. (Capelight Pictures)

A black and white depressing nightmare from Hong Kong! Director Cheang Pou-soi already has quite a rich career and after the excellent actioner Kill Zone 2 with Tony Jaa, he tries a dark crime drama with the essence of Fincher's Se7en that over into exploitation, and it's a depressing film for the strong-minded. For me, anyway! A veteran and a newcomer join forces to catch a maniacal serial killer who is brutally murdering young women on the streets of Hong Kong with a hand-cutting fetish. A woman who caused the death of the veteran's wife shows up and offers to help, but not everything goes as planned. The black and white format surprisingly is not a problem at all, it has a bit of an artsy feel, but the tone is darker and definitely more shocking. It's a two hour show of violence, humiliation against women, dead bodies and filth that makes Hong Kong a downright Sin City. There is one downright brutal knife action sequence that gave me a boner, and the film doesn't let the viewer breathe, throwing one raw scene after another. The killer himself is disgustingly sleazy and his lair is a downright disgusting place that reeked of death all the way to my living room. The atmosphere is awesome and the denouement is also interesting. This is what I call proper, gritty, raw, bleak and cold crime drama that wipes its ass with everything I've had the pleasure of seeing in the genre in recent years. Story 4/5, Action 3/5, Humor 0/5, Violence 4/5, Fun 4/5 Music 4/5, Visuals 4/5, Atmosphere 4/5, Suspense 4/5, Emotion 4/5, Actors 4/5. 8/10.
