About
You’ll likely like this gritty immigration-and-gang drama if you want serious tension and realism over Jackie Chan-style action comedy; Not for you if you want martial arts or lighter entertainment like Unleashed or Protégé.
Pros: serious crime drama; strong moral focus; tense survival stakes | Cons: little martial arts; heavy and unpleasant violence; pace may drag
