Taiwan actress Annie Yi presents the boldest performance of her career, by playing a cruel killer and robber in Coming Back, a crime drama to be released on Friday.

The 42-year-old has thus far always played pretty and elegant women, and has studiously avoided kissing on screen.

But in this film she challenges herself, seducing the lead actor Simon Yam, and even appearing with a bare back.

Coming Back focuses on the battle of wits between Yi's robber team and Yam, an art restoration expert.
