This drama, though compact, packs a powerful punch, with a time-bending blend of crime-fighting and corporate intrigue and a complex cast of characters.

We’re thrown right into the action alongside a detective (Bai Jing Ting) who’s stuck in a time loop trying to stop a violent bank robbery and bombing. Turns out this phenomenon is nothing new to him. On random “loop days,” he has five chances to relive the events of that day — which he uses to his advantage as a police officer.

Whether the genre is romance, costume, or thriller, BJT is a versatile actor who’s compelling to watch. He seems particularly suited to this type of role — cool and capable on the job, but a bit awkward in his personal life — and looks convincing in fight and action sequences.

There’s plenty of red herrings to puzzle through and suspicious characters to keep you guessing, along with flashes of humor, a hint of romance, and some fun team camaraderie. There are some twists that are predictable once you start to connect the dots, but overall, “Mobius” is a gripping and fast-paced watch right up to the conclusion.
