Well, this was a surprise.
Not that I didn't expect a good movie produced by Johnnie. But there was no real buzz. Or the action not as film full of bullets. It is more cerebral with idealistic ending instead. So in a sense you see the 'hand of god' approach - the ending has emotions - and you see it coming but it's not physically high impact but just as satisfying for me.
Unlike other over the top this one has a calm (not the emotion) plot throughout. Some things are better left unexplained. This is mostly the case here. Even when it does, it didn't feel didactic like Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey.
And I like the editing - there is some thought to this shuffle. And background music is standout - maybe just a bit over. There is a mystery aspect but this one is obvious a study of karma or personality -what have you.
Hope they don't ruin it with part 2.
