Editorial Review

By FindEdition Cinema Desk

6.3 /10

Brutal, beautiful action

The fight choreography and cinematography are the standouts — visceral, well-shot and unrelenting.

Familiar bones

The John Wick-style revenge plot is well-worn, and at over two hours the middle stretch drags.

Pros

  • Ferocious, well-choreographed action
  • Striking cinematography
  • Committed lead performance from Nadech Kugimiya
  • Cathartic payoff

Cons

  • Derivative, well-worn plot
  • Overlong with a saggy middle
  • Predictable ending
Verdict A ferociously staged, blood-soaked Thai revenge thriller that starts strong and delivers brutal, well-choreographed action — even if a familiar plot, saggy middle and overlong runtime keep it from greatness.
