The aesthetics of a careful B/W cinematography turns Hong-Kong into an unreal city, made up in 4K, present and observing violence in an underworld of garbage and rot. However, it hides a narrative that enjoys the humiliation and harassment of Wang To, an involuntary executioner and victim of male monsters. There is an aesthetic of violence that is formally fascinating but narratively debatable.
