Struggle

About This Movie

Struggle, released in 1980, dives into the gritty world of gang warfare, echoing the raw, unfiltered energy of that era. The film's pacing is quite relentless, with a tension that builds as crime boss Wai turns on his lieutenant, Ah Sing. You can almost feel the weight of their relationship and the impending doom that hangs in the air. The practical effects are a mixed bag – some moments are impressively visceral while others might make you chuckle. The performances are solid, particularly from the leads, who bring a palpable sense of desperation and loyalty to their roles. It’s gritty, it's dark, and it captures that sense of chaos in an underworld where trust is a luxury.

Great for studying 80s action cinema tropes.Interesting dynamics between the lead characters.Practical effects that highlight the film's raw atmosphere.
