A miner is on a desperate search for his missing son in this Chinese action film that weaves noir and Western genre elements.
"Principled and impetuous, Baomin works as a miner far from his home village, but makes a quick return when he learns that his son disappeared while shepherding. Baomin’s fellow townspeople, with whom he has a longstanding dispute, are unhelpful. Unspeaking and impatient, Baomin never hesitates to use his fists, or any makeshift weapon that comes to hand, to extract the information he needs. He soon links his son’s disappearance to a corrupt and sadistic gangster, and a lawyer whose own child has gone missing." (Sydney Film Festival)
