Trailer
IMDB

A Japanese-Brazilian, Mario, saves his Chinese girlfriend, Kei, from deportation. They try to steal some money from the mafia, but they end up stealing cocaine. They sell the cocaine, but they now have the Yakuza after them. The Yakuza kidnaps a child that Mario is fond of and his girlfriend, leading Mario to try to save them both.
A good stylish crime/action movie that has a Tarrantino/Robert Rodriguez/Guy Richie vibe. Mario is a good character. The end where he's walking around shooting people is awesome. There's a Matrix parody during a cgi cock fight.

8.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
