My ratings 7.0/10

A loan shark is forced to reconsider his violent lifestyle after the arrival of a mysterious woman claiming to be his long-lost mother. Powerful performances from the leads.

My favourite quotes from the film:

What is money? The beginning and the end of all things

My impressions:

Two souls

A man devoid of feelings

Until she came into his life

Is she the missing link?

The link that he needs

The link that he has always craved for

Deep inside

To be human again

Is she really the catalyst

The one that will bring the change

A hoped for change

Leading to a new beginning

But nothing is what it seems
