Wong Ching-Po’s thriller stands out by focusing on a Taiwanese socio-cultural landscape, offering a fresh perspective on the crime genre. However, the film remains rooted in traditional, male-centric power dynamics, limiting the scope of gender and identity representation. Ultimately, the work excels at deconstructing moral archetypes but falls short in terms of gender and LGBTQ+ visibility.
