"Don't Even Fight With Women Anymore"
First of all, it only shows the back of a woman's body when it comes to nudity, so don't let this keep you from watching this great, spellbinding movie!
I was on the edge of my seat from about 10 minutes into the movie all the way to the end!
The director kept the pace quick with continuous changing twists in the movie, which also involved the couple's dog!
The husband disappears in about 10 or so minutes of the movie and only comes back for even less time, the male villain Sam Chu (Anthony Wong) and the blind wife Mrs. Ng (Veronica Yip) carry the rest of the movie with small appearances by support cast, but HOW they carry it!
Their performances opposite each other couldn't have been better!
Veronica Yip plays a 'kept' wife whose only decisions revolve around which clothes she wears each day; she at the beginning of the movie couldn't fight he way out of a paper bag! But the physical and psychological terror that she endures during the time of her temporary blindness gives her the backbone and tenacity to stand up for herself.
The cast all do a fantastic job in this movie, even if the support cats' scenes were brief! Great actors and actresses all around!
I like the fact that the wife finds the ingenuity to try to get help and also the fact that she developed the ability to defend herself against her intruder: I also love the ways she used what she had in the house to create chaos for the intruder.
The cinematography was great as well as the music!
I don' t know what else to say, except don't watch this unless you have the time to be completely entertained and mesmerized!
One comment about the support cast: The lone Hong Kong cop got what he deserved by not calling for backup.
RE-WATCH VALUE: Definitely!
