Is it safe?

One of my all time favourite movies. I was lucky enough to see this 4K restored version. Nothing short of brilliant. A guy who's constantly annoying local police with his drunken antics gets kidnapped and is held captive for 15 years. On his release he meets a sushi chef in a restaurant who he's become fascinated with on tv during his captivity. Together they try and make sense of the last 15 years which leads to an unimaginable conclusion. Good violent scenes throughout, including 'Marathon Man' type tooth removal scenes. Superb. Cinema at it's best. If you enjoy this, try 'A man from Nowhere', 'I saw the deveil' and 'Handmaiden'.
