Unexpectedly good story with a symbolic portrayal of the struggle against fate and destiny

Rating: 8/10 (5 December 2007)

A different story line that goes much deeper than just a sinister bad guy who must fulfill his contract agreement and consequently chase a hero who has inadvertently stumbled into a fateful situation and the law that pursues them both to make things right. As I see it, this is a story of fate, destiny and reflection on life events, the choices and their consequences. Is it possible that anyone once they have taken a certain path can actually change their destiny or is it really hope that gives it the chance to succeed. A movie with a simple and out of the mainstream world that leaves the characters bare and exposed on their plight because the struggles within and what anyone face are really also very bare to them. Youth has the strength and conviction to overcome but the old have traveled the road too long. And as people's lives go there way, will they cross the path of "death" too soon or just by chance "escape"? An ending very anti-climatic but is it...for it makes you think about yourself and the path you have taken.
