    Yes this is a very violent movie. Do not watch this if that is something that you prefer not to be exposed to. But what seems to be excessive violence is actually not gratuitous. That is because violence is a theme the film explores: what causes it, can the cycle be broken, and what are consequences. It tackles the conflicts of morality vs justice, and how violence corrupts the two. The characters and story are complicated; There is no easy labels for the antagonist or protagonist. Just as empathy slowly seep into the killer's brutal soul, we as the viewer slowly develop sympathy for him. On top of the great storytelling, no-frills honesty, and non-Hollywood cheeze, that is a hard thing to achieve for a filmmaker.

    What is everyone talking about? This movie was great! Yes it was violent, bloody, and not a feel good movie, but this movie was a ride. Life is not all sunshine and roses, and this movie shows that. This is not a main stream hollywood movie, so I quess some people are turned off by that. But when I look for foreign movie this is exactly what I want because it is not so by the book. Do not be turn away from the bad reviews. I think this is a must see!

    I liked the way the movie was filmed. The lighting and cinematography were pretty cool. A lot of people are talking about how violent it was, but it really isn't all that violent. If you could handle "The Departed", this'll be a piece of cake. But the thing about this movie is how bleak it is. It is DARK. I mean, REALLY DARK. When my friend and I got to the last scene of the movie, I just threw out an idea for how they could end the whole thing and have it be the most depressing "screw-you, humanity" movie ending in cinema history. Just threw it out there. As a joke. Not serious at all. AND I FREAKING NAILED IT. With one tiny difference, I neglected to name the song they piped in on the soundtrack. Must be seen to be believed.
