Xuan ya zhi shang (2021) – Capsule Review
Meticulous spy film. Properly shows complexities and hardships of the job.
Good photography (highlighting whites and blacks) and action, but fails on making you empathize and care for the characters.

Slow, sloow, and SLOOOW!
Plus, awful score and sound mix that doesn’t increase the tension, it worns you out.
Story about parallel worlds, the only truth is: audiences of both worlds will be bored to death by it.
Killer and detective thriller from which I expected more.
Its tedious timeline play, diversity of plots (only a couple are worth it) and obvious hints produce an underwhelming result.
For a fan of the genre: nothing new.
A movie about people that watch (and censor) movies.
Not attractive? On the contrary!
Very immersive flick, evolving from thriller to horror, with a great leading performance by Niamh Algar.
Pleasant surprise!
Starting with great power, falls flat afterwards with non-believable relationships among characters.
Visually stunning, on one side, it lacks any great performances on the other (the acting remains adequate).
