asian cinema have progress in many way . nowadays the production value of for instance south korean film be almost as high a for standard hollywood fare . but still there be some way to go before the quality in all aspect rise up to what we have become accustomed to . yesterday be basically your standard asian techno thriller . flashy visuals and nice special effect and flawless technical quality throughout . but like many other asian movie i feel the script would have need another run through . the story of miss child be use for experimental research and and the connection to modern day homicide and be just too messy . i never get a feel for the character and never get a feel for the story . also the actor feel a bit low on expression and which doesn not really contribute when i already have trouble feel anything at all about the movie . simply put and this be not engaging enough . and another problem that be also tie to the script be the fact that the movie be overly long . at just over two hour it stretch the script very thin . since there be a few really nice action scene and and a lot of promise in the visuals and general stylish look of the movie and i would like to see a more compressed story . maybe twenty minute shorter and some of the slow less meaningful scene could have be cut out . in general i think both pace and story would have benefit from that . in the end this movie fail to excite me . while it look nice ( and sound nice ) it do not have much to offer in the way of plot or character development . and in the end nice visuals and a hefty budget be not enough to keep me entertain for over two hour . with a good script and less draw out fill scene this could have be good . now it hardly mediocre . i rate it 4/10 .
