Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance 2002
First film of 2025 did not disappoint.
The narrative does an incredible job at highlighting how revenge is a fruitless venture. It was raw, brutal, unforgiving, and tragic in its delivery.

This also might have one of the most beautiful cast of human beings top to bottom i’ve seen to date.
I really appreciate all of the subtleties…
