Put a hype, young filmmaker who is already known among cinephile circles (Pusher series) and team him with a versatile, talented actor who has a knack for choosing roles that only show his prowess and you’ve got a match made in heaven.

Gist: A Bangkok police lieutenant and a gangster settle their differences in a Thai-boxing match.
