i do not watch a lot of new and more mainstream asian film and personally prefer 70 era pinku material and or some of the newer extreme gore film but i do enjoy bad guy on most level . it definitely different from some of the hyper kinetic action film and or the scary little girl with long black hair type film that have overflow the market recently . this film be a drama about love and obsession and and despair . pretty strong stuff that be pull off quite well for the most part . i thug and a college girl have a heated exchange that lead to the guy obsessively follow her . when he feel that he can not get to her any other way and he set her up to be catch steal and and she have to take a loan from some shady loan shark to pay back the debt . unable to do so she be coerce into prostitution by a group that be run by the thug and his boy . she eventually find out that he be behind her situation and obviously doesn not take to kindly to it the rest of the film be pretty much a love or hate struggle between the two and as well a with one of the other member of the gang who be in love with the hooker as well . there quite a bit more go on in bad guy than the above summary but i prefer to keep thing kinda short . the transformation of the young woman from innocent college student to street whore be sad and believable . the subject matter be handle seriously and competently and it easy to relate to her pain and hopelessness . the main issue i have with the film and be the fact that many thing go unexplained and seem that it be leave to the audience to assume certain thing that i felt could have be expand on good . i do not know exactly how to explain this you will have to watch it and see for yourself . i also felt the end be a bit anti climactic and and certain part of the film felt kind of dull and redundant . regardless and bad guy be still a strong film if youre in the mood for a serious drama and but want something different then the regular u. s. theatrical garbage that out there . 7 . 5/10 .
