Amazing movie.

Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2019)

This was a movie that was virtually unknown over here in the West. Sure some people saw it, said how great it was, but it took a while before it had garnered enough attention to get a release. And when it did it's popularity just exploded.
The story deals with an drunken man who one day, for no reason we know, is captured and imprisoned for fifteen years in a small room. He's fed, he has a TV and a shower, occasionally he'd doused with sleepy gas but neither he or we as the audience know why.
Then one day he's hypnotized, set free again with no knowledge of what transpired or why and it's now time for him to find the people responsible for his imprisonment and exact his revenge. But the people responsible for this are still out there and they're still gunning for him.
There's some amazing fight scenes. Some gorgeous camera work by the director. And a very tightly written story that once it gets going it just doesn't let you go.
Highly recommended for fans of action, psychological thrillers or just Asian cinema. I'd also recommend seeing the subbed version. The dub takes away from some of the emotion.
