The story started quite slow initially but as it continue, it was direct without beating the bush. The excitement just went up to another level. There was not much dialogue for the cast thus I thought they did well just with their facial expression and body language.
Fantastic battle scenes and story plot which kept viewers engaged. Those flash back injected certain emotion elements to the entire film too.
Thinking about it, is it worth revenging? When you, yourself know that it will not change what had already happened.
