Lynn (Shu Qi) rests her head against the high back of her porcelain bathtub and reminisces about her happy days of youth?before she became a cold-blooded killer. Her sister Sue (Zhao Wei), clad in terry cloth hot pants and a skimpy tank top, comes in to ask for career advice.

...oppressed by guilt because his young son was kidnapped while they were at a public swimming pool. Indeed, water, as both symbol and character, is everywhere in this film: in its Christian sense of baptism and absolution, in its dramatic function as either a hiding place (that terrific bathtub rendezvous with the cyberspiders) or a scene of tragedy (an abduction and two murderous drownings...
