It was alot better than I expected it to be but for what the movie is going for it's pretty excellent if you like gangster crime drama. All the characters were necessary to the story which was great and it took alot of twists and turns that make you pay attention. I love all the violence and action certain scenes had but some it was dragging it out . The second half really picked up the pace so you need to pay close attention to everything happening so the ending makes sense. Very good watch but has some slow areas too .
The only reason anyone gave it 1 skull is because it absolutely is NOT horror. But it IS a damn good Chinese crime drama
Love the characters.
I'm frustrated as this is actually an excellent movie, but the first half is messy and confusing. Because of this I drifted and it was only towards the end when I finally started to pick up on what the hell was going on that I really, really regretted not paying more attention at the start. There is some excellent cinematography going, interesting plot, concept and cultural context. The characters would be great if they'd been fleshed out more - this might have worked better as a series than a short film. I actually think I'll have to go for a re-watch to get the full benefit!

Enjoyed this, though not horror I enjoy Asian films like this & the more violent ones. But this carried itself well, held my interest & built the characters’ back stories into the narrative.
