Many years ago Mr. Six was a notorious gangster. That was back when there was still such a thing as honour among thieves, when criminals earned respect and maintained principles. These days Mr. Six is all but forgotten, a living relic residing in a narrow alley. One day Six's son, Xiaobo, is abducted by some spoiled punks after he scratches their precious Ferrari. Mr. Six realizes that he must do whatever it takes to get his son back — even if that means returning to the life he thought he had left behind.
Guan Hu's 2015 film centers on a once-feared gangster, now a fading relic of an old code of honor, who is forced back into his former world when his son runs afoul of arrogant young rivals. Combining action, crime and drama, it contrasts a vanishing era of street principles with a brasher modern generation. The tone is melancholic yet charged, building toward reckoning while reflecting on dignity, pride and changing times. It appeals to viewers who favor character-driven crime dramas and stories of aging tough men. With a MagicMovieScore of 6.8, it offers a soulful, well-crafted portrait.
