Featured review
Hard to fit
First; reading what the other 2 commentators say about to cut the last part of the film where they do not like the ending then checked what they like to watch...well; one is a Hollywood lover and the other just watch kind of TV movies. Both do not get what the story has to offer.
A real important factor that this film is showing, is that you really need good People in your Life (or at least in the crucial moments) to not.miss the right track.
Other great point is Who is the good person anyway? In this hypocrite Society where we live there is kind of a blur sometimes.
A third point is that you can think that you are the lowest of the rank position but you might serve as example or as a pillar for others.
No doubt that in several situations is hard to fit however, for many there are possibilities "around the corner"
Main roll has a driving force and good spirit not matter he was a Yakuza minor gangster or that he relies on violence to relief pressure (because is the only way he knows)
...and yes; the last part is right; actually is what Life is: Work hard and you can obtain or not good results.
-Camera work is ok; color shades work right with the story telling.
