Lui

About This Movie

Lui is a gritty dive into the underbelly of vengeance, marked by Ruj Ronapop's raw direction. The film opens with a heavy atmosphere, almost suffocating, as our hitman protagonist spirals into chaos following the loss of his family. It's not just about revenge; it's a study of how violence begets more violence. The pacing feels relentless, each action scene unfolding with a sense of urgency that can leave you breathless. The practical effects are surprisingly visceral for its time, really pulling you into the harsh reality the character inhabits. The performances, particularly the lead, are steeped in a haunting desperation that drives the story forward. There’s a weight here that resonates long after the credits roll.
