oh this was sooo gooooddd. an unreliable narrator usually isnt something i would go for but i went into this blind and loved it. the tenseness and you really root for the protagonist until the veryyy thing you have waited for the whole second act for him to do!! THE COMPOSITION MY LORDDD. so stylish and intentional you can tell the director knows what he wants to convey in each shots!!!

there's always someone watching. we're not the only ones in this trade. any mistake can cost our lives.
it made me think about how even the smallest slip-up could have major consequences, that's why i really hate making mistakes.

I think the premise, the greyish tonal Hong Kong setting and melodramatic feel were elements of the film that made it an engaging watch; the first half, that is. Once we roll into the second half, it kinda feels sluggish and the pacing of the film,is unfortunately at a confused, snail's pace. the kill/accident scenes (although entirely based on sheer dumb luck and coincidence) were amazing, albeit highly improbable.
