About Critical Lifeline
Kai (Leehom Wang) awakens on his Shanghai houseboat––alone. His girlfriend Emma (Olivia Munn) has suddenly disappeared, leaving behind the one thing that could lead to her whereabouts: her smartphone. Deeply disturbed, Kai seeks to uncover where she went, with whom she's connected, and what she took with her. Is Emma really who she says she is? Or is there something more sinister at play?
Directed by Armando Bo, Critical Lifeline leans on a strong ensemble — Leehom Wang, Xia Tai Li, Sol Ye — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2016.
