Total Destruction is an intriguing slice of crime cinema from the 90s, set against the grim backdrop of 1930s Tianjin. The film dives into the murky waters of a police investigation, where the chief grapples with a series of gruesome murders of women found in the river. There's a palpable sense of dread throughout, and the pacing has this slow, methodical build that really draws you into the unraveling mystery. Practical effects are surprisingly gritty, adding an unsettling realism to the violence. Performances are a mixed bag, but the lead does a decent job embodying the tormented investigator. It's distinctive for its stark portrayal of societal issues and the weight of despair that looms over the narrative. Not your typical crime flick, that's for sure.
