This Taiwanese crime flick takes the problem of "runaway workers" (illegal immigrants) in Taiwan (from Thailand and Vietnam, for example) and makes this gritty real issue the context of a run-of-the-mill serial killer thriller, perfectly watchable, except as it reaches its denouement (a "the serial killer wears a birthday party hat and laughs maniacally in his underground lair" denouement) the gritty realism gives way to more and more eye-rolling cliche.
★★★☆☆
