There's only one way out.

ActionCrimeThriller

When carrying out a hit, assassin Joe always makes use of the knowledge of the local population. On arriving in Bangkok, Joe meets street kid Kong and he becomes his primary aide. But when Kong is nearly killed, he asks Joe to train him up in the deadly arts and unwittingly becomes a target of a band of killers.

VIBE

This is a sleek, neon-drenched descent into the moral ambiguities of a hitman's world. It feels somber and tense, punctuated by bursts of brutal, stylized action. The atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation amidst the chaos, exploring the heavy toll of a violent life with a propulsive, yet reflective, rhythm.
