Bad Blood

About This Movie

Bad Blood is one of those films that dives deep into the underbelly of the Hong Kong triad scene. The pacing is relentless, almost mirroring the chaos that erupts after the boss gets whacked. The contenders, all with their own agendas, are played with a kind of intensity that keeps you on edge. The atmosphere is heavy, with a blend of dark alleyways and neon lights that feels authentically gritty. Practical effects are used to great effect during the action sequences, which are raw and visceral. It captures that sense of desperation and ambition in the world of organized crime. Definitely a distinct piece in the genre, even if the director’s name seems lost to time.
