The very dark Dog Bite Dog. And when I say dark, I could say bleak or even nihilistic. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's about children being trained to fight each other to the death so they become assassins. Edison Chen plays one of these feral killers, running from an equally screwed-up policeman, leaving death in his wake. He meets a girl being raped by her father in a landfill and things take a turn for the... better? When sweet pop songs finally crop up, you get the sense that they're - no, not ironic - SARCASTIC. I admire the film for going all the way with its harsh vision, but also for its incredible noir photography and visceral sound design. It's really well made, which excuses the depravity of its subject matter. 6 years 11 months ago -
