A gangster is assigned to watch his boss' girlfriend because the boss thinks the girl has another boyfriend. When the gangster catches the girl with the other man, he lets them go and doesn't tell the boss. This causes a problem and the gang tortures him until he escapes. Then he works to get revenge.
This was worth watching. The 2 hour duration seemed shorter because there was so much conflict going on. The pacing was dynamic, slowing down and speeding up with action rise and fall. I didn't catch the names of most of the characters, but they were all identifiable. The actors did a good job with their roles, but I can't say much for dialogue because of the language barrier and subtitles. Most of the plot took place in urban settings. There was an outdoor mud and rain scene that really looked powerful. All of the actors had different costumes that helped me to tell them apart very easily. Hat and glasses was the real bad guy. He had long hair and machine gun as backup. The camera-work was some of the best I've seen recently and it was noticeably good, not just seamless. The follow shots were where it really stood out. The audio was mixed well, with dialogue and music being at correct levels. Other critics give this around an A grade and I would agree. Just for the follow shots in the camera-work alone, I rate this good. Watch it!
