    This Hong-Kong crime thriller production has a lot to recommend; good pace, genuine thrills and some of the most realistic and visceral violence outside of a Scorcese flick. Not a lot of complexity, but it feels authentic and real. A good engaging watch

    Johnny To is considered one of the best action filmmakers in Hong Kong, and in this smart, stylized gangland thriller (2005) he looks at the messy inner workings of a triad.

    A poignant moment occurs in Election when a young boy sees his father brutally beat another mobster to death.
  3. A repellent movie filled with gratuitous violence, Election is bound to find an appreciative audience among those who like their cinematic criminals noisy, stupid and deadly.
