Blue game

The opening scene reminded me of Kim Kidd's "Empty Room". However, the intruder in "Empty Room" is much more handsome than this, and won't run away with bare butts just halfway through the bath.

I don't know why, looking at the arrow stuck in his leg made me feel very happy.

Later I discovered that this movie has always been humorous. The fat man told the guy after headshot and wiped off any blood spilled on his body. He might have hepatitis. When he knew that the murderer of his parents was the man’s father and found his graveyard, he went back to the kitchen and drank water suddenly, and then went to pee on the gravestone...

Maybe the movie lacks some sense of reality, it looks like a game, nervous and funny. In the end, the back of the child holding the gun and leaving lonely is very sad.

    Dear God, how can you see it?

    A good-looking hardcore revenge film, the director's control of the entire narrative rhythm and spatial atmosphere has a good performance, although he is also moving closer to a more commercial and Hollywood direction. It's no wonder that the film has a huge gap between domestic and North American reviews. It has a very close core to the Coen Brothers' "No Country for Old Men": both are actually products of the lost extension of the American dream. ★★★☆
