On the face of it the movie is about a serial killer, but it is really about serial poor decision making on the part of come members of the Taiwanese police force.
It's touted as a dark thriller by Netflix, but as with many Asian cop flicks, melodrama and social commentary take the place of any real tension. Yet as a window on aspects of life in Taipei it is rather intriguing, and it is very well shot, with many well-chosen locations.
The trouble is that most attentive viewers will probably guess the identity of the perp having dismissed all the obvious decoys.
