User Reviews

So. Much. Blood. And Lots of Fun.

If you'd have to describe this movie, it'd be Tarantino's 'Pulp Fiction' meets Guy Ritchie's 'Lock, Stock...'. It is a no nonsense tragicomedy with plenty of blood and violence. It helps that the protagonist is a very naive but kind-hearted guy who just wants justice, which is pure comedy.

I like how they did the absolute most with a shoestring budget and invested a lot in writing a good, engaging story. I had to look hard for this gem as it's not a big budget US popcorn flick, nor was it advertised anywhere in the West, but it's well worth the effort. Good movies never hide in plain sight.
