Warning: Spoilers
I watched this many years ago. At that time it felt like low budget production, so i didnt really pay much attention to it. I watch it the 2nd time recently. Now i understand the story a little better.

It started off with a school girl getting murdered by a bunch of guys, and they report to their boss. Their boss then report to someone higher up. Then they cut to the other side of the story where a bunch of 'agents' kidnapping and torturing some guys for written confession. Turns out 'victims' are the ones who killed the girl. These agents are just regular people with their own individual problems. One of the scene seems to have abit of Fightclub vibe to it. Waiter being bullied by scumbag patron and wanted payback.

They do show parts before the kidnapping where these killer have a meal with gf, wife, friend, etc.... where they casually brush off any question when being asked about their job. Shows their attitude towards nasty things they did.

The leader of the agents has hidden agenda. We find out that the school girl is related to the leader of the 'agents'. His daughter probably. The agents themselves are against each other when the leader gets overboard with his quest of justice. In the end, i think the message is about survival and ecosystem... and how messed up humans can be.

But the weird thing bout this film is that one of the actor plays multiple role. Its confusing at first. He's like the abusive boyfriend, the scumbag mechanic boss, the monk, one of the killers, scumbag patron, etc. No idea why is that...
