I was simply overwhelmed by the fierce energy of this Iranian crime movie. The story is told from two opposite points of view: one from a detective who tries to nail a drug lord, and the other from the drug lord who tries to bribe the detective. They are both relentless and messed up in their own ways, which made it hard for me to decide which character I should take sides with. Also, some scenes(for example, prison packed with drug addicts) were so real that I often forgot this was a work of fiction. Everything I saw here was chaos : no true justice, no decent laws, no good guys. Very disturbing but a powerful piece of work.
Plot summary
In this high-octane thriller, detective Samad (Payman Maadi) goes on a relentless hunt to track down drug kingpin Nasser (Navid Mohammadzadeh). Samad hopes that the arrest of Nasser will help control the escalating problem of drug addiction that is wreaking havoc in the city. However, Samad's quest for Nasser leads him down a path rife with corruption and shifting morality, one where Samad can't trust anyone.

Disturbing and powerful
High-speed tempo
The beginning of the movie shows us how it will be till the end. Everything in it is excellent, fabulously done. This whole crime story about Iranian's social conditions, their bureaucratic and legal basis goes through high-speed of yelling, arguing and running. It is rare to see something like this in which one can conscientiously praise all the actors and actresses. Everyone is flawless! It's worth watching!
