the gangster is a Chinese gangster film set in the 50s. That alone sets it apart from the many others. It is very violent and fun to watch. At first I found it a bit confusing because of the crazy amount of characters but after I while I figured out who was who the film managed to hold my attention the very end. There are a lot of fights but most memorable are the knife fights especially the one where they are binded by their left hands. What I also thought the movie was successful at was making great characters. Each character had their own personality and they all had some sort of back story or side story that we explored. I liked the look at 50s Chinese gangster and the high level of blood and violence earns it extra points.
