Bittersweet Life

WHAT'S IT ABOUT? A hitman refuses to kill his boss' cheating girlfriend. This leads to a one-man-versus-the-organisation thriller of extreme brutality!

ANY GOOD? An exciting, pumped-up 120-hours of hardcore gangland machismo. Like an Eastern Scarface. Or a marginally less weird Old Boy.

BEST BITS: The hitman reacting to being buried alive by prodding men with fiery planks of wood. On-screen, fictional torture is fun!

BUT: Real torture isn't. Like being made to watch Last Of The Summer Wine in second-hand underpants.
