Viewing Notes

My first cinephobe.tv watch, but I’m sure it won’t be my last because it’s such a great streaming channel with an incredibly eclectic lineup.

Hadn’t seen this To film before so it was great to catch it. This starts out focused on the incredibly homoerotic relationship between two right hand men for warring triad bosses before taking a dramatic turn to focus on the senselessness of triad fighting, abandonment, sacrifice and finally revenge.

I’d love to get a good Blu-ray of this some day!
