3.5*/5.0*

A nice neon-colored Chinese thriller, about a man trying to rectify the sins of his past. There are slight crime and drama elements present, but this is primarily a film where characters move around in slums and darkness. And it's a pretty good one at that, though slightly too long-winded.

The performances are on point, the cinematography is stylish and the score is pleasant. The plot's a bit basic though and it moves forward rather slowly. If you're a fan of moody slow-burners this is an easy recommendation, personally, I would've preferred something a bit more energetic.
