Slow. Drab. Melodramatic. The stuff of soap operas condensed into a lugubrious mess of a movie. The occasional flash of brilliance in scene setting is wasted on dull, occasionally emotionally manipulative (but strangely uncompelling) storytelling.

A dull, slow, amateurish soap opera. Had it been set in Cleveland rather than Taiwan, the critics would have mauled it.
