Featured review
Remember, based on real events!
This is one of the most cinematic movies I've seen! I've never heard of the cinematographer The Chau Ngo, but I will surely see some of his other films. Without him (and the good acting), this movie would be pretty borring.
A huge amount of the shots were connected to the message of the scene in such a way, that speaking was not needed to portray the meaning. This is getting more and more rare in last few years, where characters "explain" the plot and their emotions with words, instead of acting. Luckily, most meaning here was delivered using very cinematic shooting, fast cuts, Kill Bill / James Bond style scenes and most importantly, all was very eye-pleasing and well balanced. Even small details were thought out.
And as we know, devil is in the details.
