Blood and tears
6 March 2007
Superb. Thought-provoking. Gritty. A very rare find.

A kind of restrained action movie shot in a manner of "Black Eagle" with a very deep psychological implication. Very thankful to our TV that it aired this film once. Otherwise would never know such intense action film even existed. The final scene is, probably, the best psychological scene to ever appear in an action flick. No spoilers here, because you should see it.

It helps to feel the futility of down-to-earth existence and the power of salvation, which is so near and so simple but at the same time cannot be obtained so easily. Blood and tears, crying and praying.

An excellent cast must be mentioned. For instance, Mr Arnold would have demolished this subtle picture.

A significant picture of the 20th century cinema - one of those movies, which make me respect American film industry. The highest achievement in the genre "action/drama". Should be mentioned together with the best titles by John Woo.

10 out of 10. Thank you for attention.
