Absurdly violent with real animal cruelty. Its no wonder this got banned and had to be recut. But after stomaching that, the movie will go from the quality you’d expect from a Hong Kong New Wave film, to bordering on b-movie level plot intermittently. It was pretty succinct with its messaging, but then it did a “ok we’re going to repeat that just to make sure you understand what we’re saying” kind of ending, which was a little annoying.
I usually get some ice cream at the half-way point in a movie, but after the first 10 minutes I decided not to. I’m glad I did.
