hey great job guys, this was quite the breath of fresh air! i do have one piece of constructive criticism to offer, i think it would be more effective and striking if you ended the film with the older brother raising the gun to point at his own chin, then smash cut to the credits just before he pulls the trigger, and allow the audience to hear the sound of the gun firing a blank echoing before the credits show.
I think this film does serve the positive purpose of showing people in gangs, mafia, and so on that they have a way out & they don't have to do horrendous things. It even goes as far as to show that loyalty & family aren't the only things the Chinese have to depend on in life. But China also has quite the militaristic background &, to me, police forces are only one step below militia. Policemen certainly aren't bad people, but this seems to try to make it seem as though it's the only good way.
Oh, I thought with the cigarette sequence that it would show. The brother who was afraid to kill someone older and working for his father. This was good, the dialogue could have been for vibrant.
EXCELLENT! I have seen most of the movies from the West Coast CMF films and I feel (as of now anyway) that this film will win Best Drama at the regionals and may do well at the International Grand Finale. Your school had amazing films and this was one of the best. Great job!

@AKATECHSUPPORT the only filter we had on the camera was a Tiffen 52mm UV Protection Filter. Most of the look was achieved in Post

While the production value was good, the storyline is a rip-off of pretty much every other Chinese gangster drama.

I predict this film will make the Top 16 at the Western Regional. Good Luck!
