The movie generally deals with family issues and mixes it with underground society and gangs.From the beginning the movie is hopeful but as you proceed it becomes repulsive and you might want to skip some scenes.

Also for the ones who might be misguided by the description,this is NOT a heartwarming family movie.In fact,it is precisely the opposite.

Anyway I think the script had many sides which could be seperately dealed like the girl who became an entertainer or the boy and the woman who looked like his mother.

OVERALL,if you are super bored and in the mood for ruthless gang beating scenes this movie I shall recommend. :))

This movie is... hopeless. Really. I hadn't read the description before I watched and I was thinking what about it was... Finally, in the second part action was better, though no sensation. There were some nasty scenes, especially when the gang attacked the boss...

I don't recommend this film! Perhaps that for big fans...
