The movie was very good from a visual standpoint. Scenery, lighting, shot angles and compositions were spectacular. It also had a very good score. Unfortunately all this was wasted on a very boring story about some very bad people that I could not care any less about and simply put did not need to be told. Kind of a bummer in that regard.

Loved the soundtrack and the style - but there is nothing really going on here. Violence for violence sake does not a good movie make, and there is way too much slow motion and little in the way of dialogue throughout this film - and none of the characters are likeable in the least. There are a few key scenes that are excellent (if uncomfortable) but it can't save an otherwise unfocused film.

In order to settle a dispute, a Bangkok police lieutenant and local gangster step into a Thai boxing ring and let theirs fists do the talking. This movie has good music in it and that's it really because this movie was not really not that good.

It looks awesome, the score is great and the acting is fine. So why is this movie not good? Easy - there is no real hero, every scene is 2 minutes too long, shot in slow motion, and anti climatic. I love Drive more than most but this one doesn't compare. Gosling is a push over. There are two incredible scenes though that may be worth the price of admission. Probably should skip it.

After his brother kills a young girl and is then killed for it. his brother gosling has the job of avenging his death.. This is a artsy type movie thats very dull and very boring. ryan gosling hardly says anything in this film the movie is very frustrating and never really goes anywhere.. everything is just done in a artsy way no real story to speak of. it has a bit of violence and dodgy subject matters but no real substance to it all. its like drive without the payoff at the end. poor film. one of the worst ive seen this year. i admire the style but without substance its just style and nothing else.
