Julian (Ryan Gosling) runs a Bangkok boxing club that is a cover for his much seedier line of work. His mother, Crystal, (Kristen Scott-Thomas) is a major dealer in the U.S., and a woman not to mess with. She comes to Bangkok with a score to settle, thanks to her eldest son, Billy’s reprehensible acts and their aftermath. Julian is pushed to strike revenge, unaware that they are at odds with a strange police officer who is more than he appears. This ultra-violent, stunningly visual film pays subtle tribute to filmmakers such as David Lynch and Sergio Leone, while remaining the controlled vision of its creator. (35mm presentation)
