Ninja II: Shadow Of A Tear Trailer

American martial artist Casey Bowman may be an expert practitioner in the art of Ninjitsu, but he likes to live a more peaceful life in his Japanese home with his wife Namiko Takeda who happens to be pregnant with their first baby. Their family paradise is brutally ripped apart, however, when Casey returns home to find her viciously murdered; strangled to death with some sort of barbed wire. Following her funeral and filled with the kind of intense rage he usually fights hard to suppress, he determinedly sets out on a deadly mission to avenge Namiko's death, travelling across Thailand and Burma to find out exactly who committed the evil crime, and who else was behind it. He already has a good idea who he might be dealing with; the notorious drug baron Goro. But will he find him quick enough to prevent another string of deadly attacks?

Only God Forgives Review

By Rich Cline

Excellent

Audiences expecting Drive 2 from this reteaming of Gosling and Winding Refn will be disappointed: this is a stylishly original movie that refuses to play by the rules. It's a very dark revenge thriller that unfolds like a surreal, blood-soaked dream as it spirals toward an ending that can't possibly be happy. And even though it's difficult to identify with anyone on-screen, the film is emotionally riveting.

Winding Refn sets the story in Bangkok, with Gosling starring as Julian, a passive guy who's working for his older drug-dealing brother Billy (Burke). But when Billy kills a teen prostitute in a drugged stupor, a nasty cycle of revenge begins. Detective Chang (Pansringarm) allows the victim's father (Wattanakul) to avenge her death, which comes at a price. So as Julian seeks his own vengeance, he understands that Chang is the real villain here. Then Julian's mother Crystal (Scott Thomas) turns up, refusing to listen to reason as she storms into the situation and makes everything much, much worse.

Using an Eastern sense of karma, Winding Refn throws Julian, Crystal and Chang into a torturous deathmatch. Events unfold with very little dialog, which emphasises the lurid colours and densely shadowed settings. Expertly shot and edited, the film is awash in ambiguity, making it feel like a David Lynch movie in which much of what we're watching is an absurd nightmare. And even as the morality gets increasingly murky, the film never preaches to us. It's challenging, provocative and extremely unsettling.

England, Are You Ready For Ryan Gosling's 'Only God Forgives?' [Movie Clips + Pictures]

Gosling has played this character before, but are we bored?

When Only God Forgives – one of Ryan Gosling’s moody thrillers – debuted at Cannes Film Festival, opinion was polarized. Some critics were sucked in by Nicolas Winding Refn slick style while others labelled his efforts as dull. If Gosling is more popular anywhere but America, though, it’s in England, and it’s in England that the film next lands.

Only God Forgives, coming to a cinema near you, August 2nd

We expect audiences to arrive at box offices in their droves to catch the latest glimpse of the pin up hero, who’s forging somewhat of a reputation for grumpy violence these days.

Only God Forgives - Clips

Julian is living in Bangkok while running an organised drugs ring under the guise of a Thai boxing club after going on the run for murder ten years ago.

But when he discovers that Billy had raped and killed a sixteen year old girl and been murdered by her father with the approval of ruthless former cop Chang (aka the Angel of Vengeance), things seem a little more complicated. However, under increasing pressure from his mother, Julian sets out to settle the score with the Angel, but after losing during a one on one fight, he must find another way to avenge his brother.
