Una de esas pelis tan molonas que no se puede más que celebrar.
Demostración de que el cine de acción también se puede grabar con planos fijos y composiciones de locos.

Nah, es perfecta. Influencia de Sonatine de Kitano. Lo implícito, los silencios, los disparos, los códigos, la lealtad. The Mission existe en los detalles.

this film really knows how to do a lot with a little. it’s calm, quiet, and weirdly funny, like a gangster movie that’s more about waiting around than pulling triggers. the group dynamic is great, and even when nothing’s happening, it feels tense. the shootouts are short and sharp, but it’s those long stretches of silence and stillness that hit hardest. johnnie to keeps it all tight and focused. doesn’t overdo it, just lets the mood build. super low-key, but super effective.
