Director Sam Wong Ming-sing’s latest film, Hyperthymesia, is an uneven mix of fantasy action and murder mystery. Despite its intriguing premise and talented cast, the film ultimately suffers from its excessive reliance on genre clichés and illogical plot developments. Nick Cheung Ka-fai delivers a self-aware performance as Kwok Man-bun, a former detective with a rare condition that allows him to recall every detail of his life. However, the film’s reliance on Kwok’s subconscious journeys and psychological gimmicks detracts from the main plot and results in a confusing and often unintentionally funny experience.
