Mai's journey as he leaves school to become a mechanic blends a sense of desperation with his yearning for something more. The pacing feels deliberate, matching the weight of his decisions, and the performances are heartfelt, capturing the nuances of brotherly dynamics amidst chaos. There's a gritty realism that emerges from the practical effects, giving authenticity to the hospital scenes. It’s not just about crime or love; it’s about the relentless fight against circumstances that can feel overwhelming, and that makes it stand out.
