Invocation for strenght

A promising young boxer finds out he has a brain tumor. He was abandoned as a child, fought through puberty and got the shitty news at worst possible time. However, worst is yet to come because the lad gets involved in an almost farcelike robbery of drugs where people from police, yakuza and Chinese mafia has stuck their noses in. Takashi Miike's (best known for Audition and 13 Assassins) crime flick is an action-packed thing, but unfortunately does not make much of an impact in the end.
