A solid try/stab at a crime thriller. Unfortunately this isn’t as good as you might hope for. It aims high but can’t quite deliver on that promise. Apart from story flaws (and/or the predictability of its twists and turns) even some of the well known actors are a bit of a letdown. The movie opens intensely with a vicious prison fight involving Eugene Wong (Nick Cheung) being assaulted by a number of other inmates in the shower room but he manages to retaliate by killing them all with his bare hands and a metal drain cover. Then, we later learn he is released after serving 20 years in prison. The first thing he does is spying on Zoe Tsui (Janice Man), a piano student whose father, Han (Michael Wong), is a celebrity opera singer. So he ends up renting a shack directly across from Tsuis’ country mansion and uses bugging devices to eavesdrop every conversation as well as telescope to monitor every movements. He discovers that Han is an abusive father who is particularly dislikes Zoe to befriend with any guys at all because he thinks all men out there are monsters. There’s however too little realism in the movie, in particular Wang’s amazing ability at evading an entire team of police officers several times and his just as outstanding powers of infiltrating what is supposed to be a heavily guarded residence after Han’s death. Most perplexing is why Lam would confront Wang on an Ngong Ping cable car no less, other than for the fact that it must have seemed exciting to watch. Every step of the way, Chow’s ham-fisted direction is all too apparent, trying too hard to emphasise the tragedy within the story and in the process draining too much momentum from what is really a standard police procedural. Its mediocrity would have been fine if it didn’t have both Simon Yam and Nick Cheung as its lead cast, both actors worthy of much less pedestrian material than what ‘Nightfall’ has to offer. Certainly, it is a definite step-up from the appallingly bad ‘Murderer’, but don’t go in expecting the same kind of compelling thriller as ‘Beast Stalker‘ or ‘The Stool Pigeon‘. 
Another glaring problem here is Chow’s lackluster direction to keep things as suspenseful as possible. Often in times, he simply stops cold with lots of talky expositions rather than presenting them in an engaging visual manner. If anything, only the minor scene involving the exciting mano-a-mano fight between Wang and Lam in the Ngong Ping cable car (even that alone served more as an excuse for no reason whatsoever). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecjRI7F6xAU But none of the problems come worst than the climactic third-act. From here onward, both Roy Chow and Christine To has gone overboard by laying out all the expository revelation of the actual going-on. The good news is, the ending has none of the shockingly out-of-nowhere twist like MURDERER but even so, the twist here is so heavily convoluted that you will be scratching your head in disbelief once you piece out every puzzle altogether. Only in the 108 minutes we presented the changes of human character, moral values, compassion, sacrifice, dedication, emotion. Too bad, it's just too little, too late.
 | | Eden – Review May 9th 2013, 00:02 
Human trafficking is thought to occur only in third world countries, and popular tourist attractions over seas. This is the stuff of mainstream Hollywood, since films like Taken hit the silver screen. Next to drugs and weapons, modern day slavery is said to be the third most profitable crime business in America. Who would of thought such a disgusting profit would be happening in our own backyards. Such statistics would make anyone cling closer to their loved ones. Based on the true story of Chung Kim, Eden is about a Korean-American teenage girl named Hyun Jae, played by the beautiful Jaime Chung (The Man with the Iron Fist and The Hangover II). After closing up shop for her parents, Hyun Jae goes out with a friend attempting to pass off as adults for a night of drinking. Her friend eventually ditches out on their girls night, leaving her with a supposed firefighter, who later offers her a ride home. In a fake attempt to woo her, a car pulls up from behind and before she knows it, she's being dragged from one car and thrown into another. 
She eventually awakens in what looks like a hospital room, but she is cuffed to a bed and shot up with drugs. This beautifully shot, yet horrifying scene where her identity, youth and freedom are taken from her, will make you gasp for breath and hope she has what it takes to stay strong. Later, a respectable man of the law (Beau Bridges) consumed by greed, places a tracking device on her ankle and gives her the name Eden; she is forced to give up her body to the pleasure of men. Her only solution to stay alive, is to fight her way to the top and become friends with the ringleader's second hand man and drug addict, Vaughan (Matt O'Leary). Surrounded by drugs, money and eventually power, you'll begin to wonder if Eden has the strength to make it out alive, with her original soul intact. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ECn28OPKJg Winner of eight awards, including SXSW Audience and Emerging Woman Award, and San Diego Asian Film Festival for Audience Award as well. Eden will keep you on the edge of your seat, possibly in tears hoping for justice. With every second, this film could make you disgusted, even lose faith in the human race. Maybe that is the downside to being human, were capable of the most horrible things, but it is ones decision to stay on the path of righteousness. Where there is darkness, one must find light in their own heart to make it through life's challenging obstacles.
