Xian yi ren X de xian shen (2017)

Attempted rape

There are a few scenes of violence.

In one, a woman uses an electrical cord to strangle a man from behind, with intermittent shots of his facial expression.

In another scene, a man uses a rope to strangle another man from behind, with an out of frame depiction of him bludgeoning his victim before torching his fingers with a fire torch.

The portrayals are fast, without lingering on the details.

The film contains some utterances of the expletives "f**k" in the dialogue.

Based on a Japanese detective novel, 'The Devotion of Suspect X' revolves around a cat and mouse game between a shrewd physics professor assisting in a murder investigation, and his high school friend who is a brilliant mathematician.
