This movie is a total waste of time. I like Andrew Lau's other efforts, but he's failed here.

There's no chemistry between the two leads; the story is unbelieveable; there's no involvement with any of the supporting cast - I didn't care about any of them, they just take up space - as do the leads; the switch from the initial time/place to the village was annoyingly abrupt - I had no idea who these people were, what they were doing, or why I should care; it's very slow paced, which isn't a crime in itself, but this is boring slow.

I didn't really find anything redeeming in this. I bet Andrew Lau has already deleted it from his resume.
