I enjoy this movie very much because the plot is so meaningful, something important that the press and individuals should consider thinking about. On one hand, you have the reporters trying to do a good job in reporting news, and for some, bringing resolution to problems. On the other hand, you have the "victims" of reporters, understanding that they are entitled to protect their privacy, but also by protecting the privacy, they are not letting the reporters to do the job. It is not simple to blame the press, rather, to question each party's priority and try the best to balance it. I think this movie put out a good message. Also, the acting is also enjoyable! Daniel Wu plays a rookie reporter, having a fresh scent by the way he dress, and the way he approaches his interviewee. Maggie Cheung Ho Yee plays an uptight reporter seeking the good out of people, by avoiding quarelling with Daniel in the beginning of the movie, and willing to forgive and forget the insults of her job. Emil Chau plays a middle-aged reporter, the ways he hangout to retrieve news, his qualification of knowing many higher offices. These roles are drawn out very convinced, and fortunately the actors are not disappointing.
