The movie

In the mid-fifties, organized crime is at its peak in Thailand. Bangkok is plagued by clashes between rival gangs, as kingpins reign over neighborhoods with iron fists, until the day when the military dictatorship comes into power and decides to clean up the mess. Intense, nervewracking, ultraviolent and realistic, The Gangster brings out the big guns all the while displaying a powerful humanity. A film that really packs a punch, while describing a country in the midst of important changes !
