Good movie, not as hard to watch as I thought

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2020)

I was hesitant to watch this because of the reviews warning about torture. What I found was a director who, just as in the golden age of cinema, leaves graphics to the imagination. Most movies today go so completely into graphic sex and violence that there is nothing left to the imagination. This movie was very intense, but in no way as gross and sick as many I've seen in modern times.
The story is good, and like many martial arts movies where you know the hero can't possibly take on that many villains at a time, but he does anyway, you suspend reality and just go with the story. The director lets us use our own imagination and fantasy.
After 15 years, who is better off? That's the moral of this revenge tale.
