The movie suffers from the same ailment that befalls most HK made movies in that it has the most ridiculous and contrived plot line. Bad script doesn't belong exclusively to HK movies, of course; Hollywood spews out many as well, but percentage wise, HK takes the cake. What are the odds that the wife and mistress would join the same tour in Europe on the same day! Okay, I can roll with that since the whole premise of the story rests of their meeting and becoming friends. Then near the end, when Anita walks all the way back to town--with her luggage, no less--when it is shown that the train has taken her far, far away, I just rolled my eyes. But at the end, when the women, instead of running to the hotel lobby for help (it is a classy hotel but it seems totally deserted, which is ridiculous), and not calling the police beforehand, they run out to the dessert, which is at the back of the hotel, and there is not a single person around, and without yelling for help!!! That was just plain moronic script writing. The whole situation is so manufactured to illicit people's emotion that I realize why it belongs in a bargain bin that I found it.
