For those who love action scenes, this is a must watch. The first minutes remind me of the computer game Counter Strike. Oh, I suck at giving reviews but yeah, I enjoyed watching this. Mainly because I love action movies/dramas. The blood and the killings look real so I think someone with a weak stomach shouldn't watch this.

PS. I saw comments saying they don't understand the plot and some scenes don't make any sense but I think you should rewatch it. I clearly understand the story.

Fantastic cinematography

This movie is mind-blowing. At first seeing the bloodbath, you might think that it's just another killing story/movie but it wasn't.

The cinematography is seriously the best part for me with transitions and the timeline perfectly laid out to give you a bit of mystery.

The casts of the film played their parts perfectly as well making the film more realistic. You can feel the emotions of the characters without them saying a lot of words.

The plot is good specially how they made sure that the past and present will not cause any confusion but rather answer the questions you have in mind. I just wished a bit that this wasn't a tragedy story. I would've loved to see the main character living a simple life just like how she wished for it.
