As far as modern Chinese mainland films go, this one was one of the only ones I kinda liked. Zhou Dong Yu and Jackson Yee have decent chemistry in a compelling story about bullying. Were it not Chinese, this is something you would probably find on Netflix and enjoy watching after a long dayโs work. Genuinely a fine thriller and worth the watch.
