New heights of handsome perverts

This is the third pervert character with no eyebrows that I like. Originally, I wanted to say that the male protagonist played by Paul (he really has no name in the play, and the cast list says gangster No.1, is he trying to show that he has no self? His meaning in life is to become gangster No.1) because he is obsessed with power , is not in love with the boss played by David Thewlis, however, I found out that the director is Paul McGuigan, the director of the first two seasons of Shenxia, ​​I am a little unsure, lol. . .

I think the director looks like the boss of Su Yuan. The former boss is also a gangster and a butcher of the past. Why is this guy so detached in the end? He completed an art degree in prison, no longer obsessed with money and power, and he also gave up revenge. The woman he loves gets married and starts a new life. He puts down his butcher knife and becomes a Buddha on the spot. The image of the character is so tall all of a sudden, the director has to make a comparison to kill the new boss!

Paul Bettany really sets the bar for new heights of handsome pervert in this one, and I love the terrifying grin and the two silent howls.

The music is great, I like the dark humor, and at the beginning, the old male protagonist also teases or swipes at the audience.
