Crime of Passion

About This Movie

Crime of Passion presents a gritty blend of action and romance, wrapped in a crime investigation narrative. Lu Yueyue, our driven policewoman, faces not just the challenge of recovering a stolen national treasure but also navigates the complexities of her love life and family issues. The film channels a palpable tension that's both engaging and occasionally melodramatic, which can be traced back to its roots in a 1995 television series. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the atmosphere, making it feel authentic rather than forced. The practical effects used in the fight scenes stand out, adding a layer of rawness. Notably, performances strike a balance between intensity and vulnerability, giving Lu dimensions that are often overlooked in similar films.
