Only God Forgives (US/TH, 2013)

A circle of sometimes grizzly revenge slayings, not lacking in visual lavishness; difficult to know what to make of it, but in a more positive than negative way.

Its not-great showing on IMDB maybe due to mainstream audiences expecting Drive II - and being disappointed.

Kirsten Scott Thomas quite capable of being bitch, but as a haggard drug-dealing mother of two wayward and similarly criminal sons?

Dedicated to Alejandro Jodorowsky, it's hardly in the same league, and probably shouldn't be taken too seriously. Worth a watch though, in a lower seven-out-of-ten kind of way.
