Miyu: What? Mine?
Nick Lowell: Yeah.
Miyu: Do you get the same one as me?
Nick Lowell: You have two koi fish.
Miyu: I do. One swimming up, and one swimming down.
Nick Lowell: I understand.
Miyu: You do? Tell me.
Nick Lowell: Well... I guess, in life, sometimes we fight the current. And other times, it's important to flow with the river.

A predictable but enjoyable ride

The story is a fairly by the numbers mafia drama in terms of structure but,it is very well executed. The sense of high stakes is always present trough the whole film, every action has a consequence. As the script has no unnecessary filler plots, it keeps the story moving at a prefect pace.

The main themes of the movie are brotherhood and revenge, and even if the characters ar not too deep, you get to know them enough to care for them in dangerous situations and you feel some empathy for the main character in his struggle ro fit into a violent world that does not treat him as an equal Nick is not a hero or a good person at all but he shows enough principles for the audience to understand his perspective.

Is this movie unique? Not at all but it more than a time waster that deserves your attention.
