Double Vision - 雙瞳



I caught 2002's Double Vision (雙瞳) via Netflix almost a year ago. Its a horror, mystery, and thriller movie starring Tony Leung Ka Fai (梁家辉).

The movie is about a the investigation of strange deaths. Someone from the USA is brought in to help solve the deaths. Politics are involved and the personal life of the main protagonist is explored. A pretty well made movie, but the last 15-30 minutes was poorly paced and lacked a clear explanation.

I hadn't followed the Taiwan film industry until only the last year or so, but finding this gem on Netflix was a welcomed surprised. However, the 2 main protagonist are NOT from Taiwan.
