About
You may like this if you want a raw, confrontational descent into jealousy and physical obsession with the same bruising energy as Bullet Ballet or Violent Cop; Not for you if nonstop brutality and a punishing mood sound exhausting.
Pros: adrenaline-charged intensity; compelling central conflict; striking manga-like look | Cons: extremely bloody violence; harsh atmosphere; emotionally intense
