Set in Japanese-occupied Shanghai and Hong Kong during World War II, the film spans the four-year attempt of a Chinese student drama group to assassinate a top Japanese collaborator, Mr. Yee (Asian cinema icon Tony Leung), using virginal Wong Jiazhi (newcomer Tang Wei) as a lure. Wong poses as a well-bred aristocratic wife, Ms. Mak, and employs her acting abilities and womanly wiles to delicately tempt Mr. Yee. Taming the beast, however, becomes an increasingly perilous and poisonous endeavor. The character dynamics are evocative and rich in nuance. They comprise the film?...
