Synopsis

Steven is multi-talented, handsome, and a expert seducer of women. He craves intimacy with women, literally cannot live without it, and is in search of the perfect woman. All of his relationships, however, end tragically. Eventually, he meets Anne, a strong woman who is different, better than the others. However, soon it becomes clear that this is a relationship that only one of them will survive. The title refers to a quote from Francis Bacon, who wrote about crocodiles, who shed tears when they devour their prey.

Critics' reviews

"From its first shot (...) this cool, handsome thriller proceeds with an elliptical elegance"

Richard Corliss: Time
"Mr. Law doesn't disgrace himself here, though he doesn't have much to do, and the director, Po Chih Leong, is deft at creating atmosphere, but it's an atmosphere we've all seen before."

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
"A real crock"

Lou Lumenick: New York Post
"A philosophical thriller that's no less intriguing for being murkily theological"

Lisa Schwarzbaum: Entertainment Weekly
"Any subtlety is lost in the broader superficiality of a work which fails to engage on an emotional level."

Trevor Johnston: Empire
