I can understand younger brother's distress at the loss of older brother by way of murder, but it was almost impossible to keep track of all the bodies that piled up on the way towards killing the parties responsible.
So many goons biting the dust, their only crime choosing the wrong guy for whom to be a goon. Is there a Goon's Widows & Orphans Society? I hope there is.
This is not to say I disliked the movie, far from it. It is very dark, certainly not something to see on a down day. I had a pretty good idea how things would end, given that every David Chiang movie I've watched recently his characters croak, but they take a LOT of killing from a lot of bad guys before they actually die.
Blood flows, spurts, seeps through clothing, furniture is broken, bad guys get zorched [& they don't always see it coming -- are they ever surprised!], guys crash through railings--it's all there.
