About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like slow-burn crime dramas with a cool, retro mood and sudden brutality, somewhat like No Country for Old Men or Only God Forgives; Not for you if you want nonstop action.
Pros: moody atmosphere; memorable soundtrack; tense action bursts | Cons: slow pacing; very graphic violence; minimal dialogue
