My impression of the movie is that it is an average movie thats surrounded by an All-star casts in its leading actors Esai Morales as the male protagonist and Kunjue Li as the leading actress.
It is an erotic thriller where a professor, protrayed by Esai Morales, is seduced and ultimately fell into a trap with a chinese student Li Chao, portrayed by Kunjue Li. We followed the narrative of the professor throughout the movie that detailed his involvement and conflicts from his affair with Li Chao. The overall pace of the movie feels a bit dull where i feel like some parts of the storyline were just an over-stretched that could've been omitted altogether.
The actors are the true masterpieces of the movies especially with the uprising actress of Kunjue Li. Her protrayal of Li Chao as a seductive female with a mysterious past is the only thing that kept me absorbed into the movie. The displays of emotions shown from the beginning to the end had me on a rollercoaster ride throughout the movie. At times, I learned to sympathize with her conflicted relationship with the Professor and other time also had me scared when the darker side of her emerged within the story. This is the first time i have watched her movie and she had me intrigued by her outstanding acting that i will be keeping my eye out for her future roles in movies.
