I want to watch this movie because of Haruma Miura and Liu Shi Shi. I read the summary of the story this movie was based on and it seemed like the typical psychological mystery.

The issues of time and identity surface in multiple ways, both in front of and behind the camera, in “Five Minutes to Tomorrow,” the latest feature by Isao Yukisada (“Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World”).  The Japanese director decided to set his story in China – with a few shots in Mauritius – in a Mandarin-language film.  Loosely adapted from a couple of Takayoshi Honda novels by the same name, the main cast consists of a Chinese actress (Cecilia Liu Shishi (刘诗诗)), a Taiwanese actor (Joseph Chang Hsiao-chuan (张孝全)) and a Japanese actor (Haruma Miura (三浦春馬)).  Liu, in fact, plays adult twin sisters who are introduced as children in a flashback sequence to start the film.  They decide to swap their red and blue dresses following an incident when one of them smashes a window; not surprisingly, the case of mistaken identity and subsequent punishment sets the tone for the twins’ lifelong relationship.
