"This is basically a remake of Andrei Konchalovsky's MARIA'S LOVERS, with Vivian Hsu in the Nastassja Kinski role. It's not as artful and is a bit more graphic than the original, but with the adorable Ms. Hsu doing her (frequently naked) thing, it's tough to judge it too harshly. Adjust your expectations accordingly."
Vivian Hsu in Angel Heart

"Vivian Hsu (Hsu Shu Chuan) is one of Taiwan's prettiest girls, but she is most well known in Japan where she has a rock band. This movie, maybe has a few holes in the plot, but Vivian is at her most sympathetic and maybe most dramatic in this film. Rated R (X--category III Hong Kong) for adult content. 4 stars for Vivian."

"Just wanted to comment to the initial review saying that Vivian Hsu was cashing in on her stardom. Vivian actually made this BEFORE she got really popular. It's a good film if you like Vivian."

"Vivan Hsu is outstanding and this movie proves it. Although I know some people have a problem with movies where they have to read the subtitles, this is one movie where it is worth it!
Beautiful locations,beautiful women and a wonderful plot!!!"
