Better than expected
13 September 2018 | by kohle-69615 – See all my reviews

Movie about a Hong Kong cop who tries to find his by an organ trafficking gang kidnapped daughter in Thailand. The father had to fight not only against the gang but also against the corrupt government in Pattaya (Thailand). Government and gang work together.

There are many good exaggerated action scenes - this is an action thriller from Hong Kong!

The actors especially the father perform fine. Cinematography is very well also.

Although there's a lot of action the basic mood is hard boiled, dark and sad. Don't expect a happy ending!
