After a mission is nearly botched and an operative is killed, the higher-ups suspect a mole in the ranks and launch an internal op to uncover them.

A spy verse spy crime mystery. The story was promising, but it was lost for those who do not speak Mandarin due to the terrible subtitles. Small text, poor placement, rapid succession, and being washed out by the background make the subtitles hard to read and the story difficult to follow. Context from the acting helps a bit, but not enough to keep the audience actively engaged. The story has some twists and turns, which redeem the movie, but not enough to make it worthwhile. The one hour and forty-four minute runtime is long, with a hard-to-follow story, minimal action, and drawn-out suspense. Skip it for something else.
