Very sad atmosphere

Most of the fragments of the story are presented in a very sad atmosphere, almost the only oriental face in the crowds (no matter in that scene, it seems out of place), a single shadow in a foreign land, a situation in which the villains in the first half are generally down, and struggles. The heroine who has no dignity at the bottom, the protagonist who is helpless.
In several scenes, the protagonist faced overwhelming threats: the judo club in the police station used one enemy against one hundred, and one person against the local black and white. It seemed that he was going to be the enemy of the whole world, it seemed that he was the whole person. A corner of the film that breaks the sense of wholeness in the movie is less, and it is harmonious.

The only small regret is that in the later stage of the police station martial arts hall, the shooting frame of the short stick fight Not sure about the numbers.
