Singapore films are just so weak these days. A long history of hyper local content controlled by a few legacy companies protecting their spots has not allowed the country and its productions to grow and evolve. This is just another Mediacorp/Mediacrap show but with some nudity cos the director Sam thinks he's some sort of auteur. He credits himself as a director AND writer. Ouch! Talk about delusions of grandeur. The dialogue is bad, acting is horrific, plot is all over the place (Actually what plot?!) and the production resembles 1980s Hong Kong shows but not in a good way - more TVB than Wong Kar Wai. Easy pass unless you want to see some terrible softcore stuff. Check everything wrong with cinema these days - creepy male gaze, misogynistic tropes, terrible production value etc. MM2 actually thought they did something! Oof!
