L'excentrique inspecteur Chong cache son visage derrière des lunettes d'écaille, une frange grise et une barbe de style Henri IV. Vétéran endurci dans son domaine, il a presque tout vécu. Pourtant, sa dernière affaire lui donne du fil à retordre: la scène sanglante du crime témoigne d'un assassinat atroce. L'auteur du crime se rend... mais le cadavre reste introuvable. Sur trois niveaux temporels, le réalisateur Philip Kung sonde le passé de l'assassin et de la victime et chamboule les règles de genre bien établies. (Zurich Film Festival)

An intriguing thriller that, on the one hand, somewhat bored me with its pace, but on the other hand, I also thought that it wasn't that bad. Some scenes can be quite breathtaking, at least if you are not used to something like this. But then again, the pace picks up, which becomes quite exhausting. Slightly above average.

It's a pretty hyped crime drama. The pace is rather draggy and nothing of substance happens for the entire runtime. There are also a lot of flashbacks, which irritated me and made it hard to navigate, but I also praise the original theme along with the killer motif. I was also intrigued by the detail shown in the butchering, but for me this is insufficient. I would have much preferred if more people had died during the film, because the visuals and gore looked more than appealing. 60%.
