After she has witnessed the murder of her boyfriend Kent, Ann's (Sophie Ngan)
long term memory is messed up & she is unable to remember anything but the
last 15 minutes of her life, so she tries to memorize everything via
notes she takes down on her body with a marker, & a massive collection of
polaroids. Soon she meets cop Nam (Mark Cheng), who claims to want to help her
regain her memory & this way find out who the killer of her boyfriend was,
so he takes her places of her former life.
... like the advertising company she has worked at & that was run by
Cherry, a bitchy lesbian who has made some passes at Ann in the past. ... but
Cherry is one of the prime suspects in the murder case for Nam, so he tries to
shield Ann from her ... with little success, since the same night Cherry
abducts her to her SM-club & wants to restore her memory by the shock of
torture - especially Kent's last words are important to her ... however, Ann
soon ends up knocked out on a rooftop while Cherry ends up dead on the pavement
- which pretty much rules her out as the killer (or does it ?).
Upon returning home one day, Ann finds Sha-Sha trying to burn her house,
& she is chased off by Nam only just. Later Sha-Sha makes another attempt
at Ann's life, claiming Kent owes her a large sum of money she's determined to
get back from Ann or else ...
Sha-Sha soon ends up in jail, being busted for possessionof a large amount
of drugs ... as it turns out, not only were she & Kent drugcealers but she
also was Kent's mistress - & as if that wansn't enough, suddenly Ann
remembers she didn't only know about their love-affair, she even joined in for
a threesome.
Ann starts remembering more & more of her past, & also her long-term
memory gets better, but the more comes back, the more she starts to distrust
Nam, who it turns out was a former friend (& possibly partner in crime) of
Kent, & he had kept information from her. Her suspicions towards Nam are
further fuelled by mysterious phonecalls she receives from a mysterious woman,
who tells her one or 2 things about Nam he'd rather not want her to know, &
the caller also triggers her memory about some information Kent gave her ...
including the place where he had hidden a large amount of money - which Ann
soon digs up.
Nam meanwhile seems to behave ever stranger, spying after her, even drugging
her & persuading her to strip for him so he can read all the notes she ahs
put onto her body ... at one point though Ann becomes convinced that he has
actually killed Kent, & she tries to shoot him, but only hits his leg ...
& that's when the real killer shows up, Bonnie, the good natured bar-owner,
in fact a transsexual, & he/she shoots Nam - for good - before dragging Ann
to the SM club again to extract Kent's final words from her. However taken by
lust when torturing Ann she loses control & is overcome by her when Nam,
who hasn't died after all, steps in too. In the end, Ann brutally strangles
Bonnie.
For Nam - who despite everything has been an honest cop all the time - the
case is solved, & Ann, a good girl after all, gives the money, still in her
possession, to charity ...
This might sound like a rip-off of Christopher Nolan's Memento, but
apart from being about an amnesiac who takes notes down on his/her body, the
similarities are rather vague. (By the way, it has even less to do with the
first Naked Poison from 2000.)
Naked Poison 2 is actually a reasonably well-written erotic thriller
(apart from the ending that for some reason pulls a culprit out of the hat who
had little to do with the story, & drops all the leads leading to Nam
without any explanation), but it does suffer from an uninterested direction
which can be called routine or run-of-the-mill at best, & derives the movie of
much of its impact.
