Blood Brothers is quite a gritty dive into 1930s Shanghai, showcasing the life of three fishermen who get lured into the city's dark underbelly. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you really feel the weight of their choices as they navigate this new world. Alexi Tan's direction brings a raw, unpolished edge that complements the performances. You can see the innocence of these characters slowly eroding, and it's hard not to feel for them. The pacing has a nice ebb and flow, letting you soak in the bleakness without hitting you over the head. Plus, the practical effects capture the grittiness of the era nicely, making it stand out in the genre. Just a solid, moody piece about ambition and consequences.
