Movie Plot Back to top

1942 Nanking, the then capital city of China has fallen into the hands of the Japanese Imperial Army, where they established and controlled the puppet government. After various deadly attacks and assassination attempts by underground guerillas, it became evident that there has been a leak of intelligence, and someone is working undercover within the Intelligence Bureau for the underground revolutionists. A group of unsuspecting key officials that had a hand in the circulation of a staged encoded message are captured and transported to a far off mansion in the middle of the night for interrogation. As they are each served with torture and counter-intelligence tactics, they soon realise that no one will be able to leave until the snitch is identified. The only way for them to survive through this, would be to turn on each other.

Good show

What I loved most: Excellent acting and camera shots.

What I really hated: Too obvious the nurse walk out when everyone stopped.

Too obvious the nurse walked out when everyone stopped. Why don't make everyone continue moving while he's singing the song? Anyway, the time he spend in the girl's room is already questionable, moreover he still allow to sang a song out of the blue. Could the girl really able to trap the cigarette without looking under the table? Of coz not, then another clue given. If not the show ended the moment the nurse walk out, it was an excellent movie. Worth to watch as the story and acting is good.
