The writing is not good, just that you can find your shadow in this movie

If you are kind, but desperate by reality, you can only squander time in the fantasy of drugs. If you have to struggle, you are all standing on top of dirty blood. Desperate to the end, then you can only self-destruct. —— Jack Valentine

If you just want to have money and satisfy your desires, then do it. The world is cruel enough. They have no relationship with me. What about slaughtering an entire village, I am doing a legal business. The biggest arms dealer is not me, but the president elected by you. - Yuri Orlov

I think the movie is a naked exploration of a kind of human nature, everyone sees it differently, I am just talking about what I see.
