A clearly important film in Refn's filmography and an obvious stylistic precursor to Valhalla Rising and Only God Forgives. Filmed very well, those dreamlike elevator scenes were top-notch, and the blood montage was visually and sonically arresting. The soundtrack is brilliant, and the use of I guess you would call them "sound effects" was quite horrifying. But, this kind of left me a bit unsatisfied, it is a good film but doesn't satisfy a certain hunger when it comes to paranoia films.
