    • Goofs
      There is a scene in the movie where the fight manager uses a blood test to indicate that the new drug will kill 3 others but not kill the main character. If there is a blood test to determine if the new drug will kill you, why did the corporation test it on and kill over 30,000 people? And, furthermore, there would be no risk that the company would test the drug on anyone else who is at risk because they could just run the blood test first.

    Good story, well done - dystopian noir future
    Like Blade Runner it's a dystopian future, and in this is mass human experimentation by heartless corporations, as well a brutal prize fighting. But it's not a martial arts movie. It's a movie about the sacrifices that one man makes to try to save his family. I thought it extremely well done and compelling, and somewhat sad. There is a hint of the original French revolution throughout, which is interesting. The setting is Paris.
