This film left a rather uncomfortable feeling for me at the end, although by no means a criticism of the movie. Most horror films that I have watched in the past that contain blood and gore only have a marginal effect on me at the end because I can pass them off as too 'fantastic' and just pure entertainment. However, this movie had the dual sense of realism along with the supernatural/horror that is expected of a movie of this type, and leaves you with a chilling feeling at the end and beyond.
The movie is fast paced and develops with the main character who is at odds with his behavior and interactions with other people he meets in his tiny world. It dramatically unfolds into a cat and mouse game where the audience is propelled into the chaotic and violent life of the underworld.
There were fine touches to the movie which other reviewers were not able to pick up...the time where he declares to the waitress that he goes back as far as Kayan or Caine as people knew him by. This would explain some of the dialogue at the end and the appearance of another aloof character at the end of the movie.
A very well directed movie that keeps you intensely focused right to the end.
