Review: Guilty of Mind (2017) | Sino-Cinema 《神州电影》
“Huanhai city, northeast China, the present day, May. A postmortem for a
horrifically murdered man, conducted by pathologist Qiao Lan (Wan Qian)
and attended by police detective Tai Wei (Liao Fan), is suddenly
interrupted by Fang Mu (Li Yifeng), a former student at the Institute of
Criminal Psychology at Huanhai University, who identifies the killer
among the onlookers from the hospital’s staff. After a chase through the
city, the killer is arrested on the beach, though Tai Wei’s assistant,
Li Yiman, is stabbed and ends up in a coma. Some time later, Tai Wei
meets his new assistant, keen but inexperienced Luo Yi (Yu Lang), when
he’s called to investigate the corpse of a champion athlete, Zhou
Guangrong, that’s been found in a boat. Tai Wei asks the help of Qiao
Lan’s father (Zhang Guozhu), a professor at ICP, in profiling the killer
but he recommends one of his former students, Fang Mu, whom he says is
brilliant…but a bit weird.”
