Shaowu the Bad

Right from the start I could tell I was going to enjoy this tale. It is not really a gangster story it is about the relationship between a young girl and her estranged father.

Her father is a gangster with a strong moral code and certainly not a typical mobster. Shaowu grew idolising him with romantic notions of his lifestyle.

When she is 14 years old she becomes too much of a handful for her grandmother to look after so her dream comes true and she goes to live with her father. They become very close and the drama unfolds.

A beautifully filmed movie with strong performances and a very intelligently directed story. This is an excellent example of a good drama.. 10/10 in my book.
