我们早已熟悉复仇故事的套路。但曾在《Get the Hell Out》中用僵尸和职业摔角把台湾立法院搅得天翻地覆的 Wang I-Fan,把殖民时期的台湾、武术与女性主导的动作戏结合起来,让熟悉的公式变得更加锋利。日治时期的台湾,警察接连遇害。嫌疑人是花脸猫,一名身手如猫般敏捷、手持一对镰刀的女刺客。案件交由日本警官 Shimizu 负责,他花了一年时间逐步逼近真相,两人的命运也随之纠缠扭转。台湾新生代演员 Han Ning 为演好花脸猫高难度的动作戏训练了近一年,而《明天,我要和昨天的你约会》的主演福士苍汰则饰演决心阻止她疯狂杀戮的 Shimizu。当真相终于大白,花脸猫的旅程坠入一条血染的修罗道,她锋利的爪子将在“Midnight Passion”单元撕裂银幕。
