Kit is a dangerous killer who has no compassion whatsoever when it comes to killing cops (and even their wives). His blind fury against law enforcement agencies finds its origin in the fact that a policeman raped his girlfriend, awakening a beast that won't be easily tamed. (Sitges Film Festival)

I really like Asian revenge flicks, so why not try the one that has revenge right in the title. I expected a brutal and uncompromising story full of anger and thirst for vengeance, and that's exactly what I got. I especially liked how the film deceives us from the beginning with the body and plays with our feelings towards the central characters through non-linear storytelling. Just the overly moralizing ending didn't sit well with me, but otherwise good.
