Many years ago Mr. Six was a notorious gangster. That was back when there was still such a thing as honour among thieves, when criminals earned respect and maintained principles. These days Mr. Six is all but forgotten, a living relic residing in a narrow alley. One day Six’s son, Xiaobo, is abducted by some spoiled punks after he scratches their precious Ferrari. Mr. Six realizes that he must do whatever it takes to get his son back — even if that means returning to the life he thought he had left behind.

Viewing Notes
Not at all the kind of movie I was expecting. This is more like a man on a mission flick. In this case it’s a father trying to save his son from some rich punks. Complications ensue that leads to an emotional finale.
Took me a while to get on board after a slow build up but I can see how that’s needed to establish these characters. There is a decision made late in the movie that would have been the easy way to go given the situation but of course the movie is not gonna go that way. I’m okay with that since it got me all teary eyed in the final sequence.
I think the movie is worth it for that alone but this is also a good “old versus new” story about adhering to values and code. Definitely won me over. Really like this cast too.
