Shot in the most violent city on earth, this film succeeds in confronting the viewer with his attitude towards violence in a truly mesmerising way. Both the viewer and the main character, in their own ways, try to make sense of what occurs and it is very tempting to follow the main character's logic, though you're never quite sure whether this is the 'correct' thing to do. The film is not just clever and confronting on an intellectual level; it is also a very moving, though simple, tale about love, loss and revenge.
