DIAMOND DOGS

The villain Marlboro increases the potential for aggression in illegal drug experiments and lets his test subjects fight each other to the death for the amusement of the super-rich. On the deaf-mute debt-collector Johnny, who was dragged to the test laboratory after being diagnosed with cancer, the drugs have a much stronger effect than ever before… the feature film debut of Gavin Lim from Singapore bursts with energy and a full-on Grindhouse spirit in his biting thematic ideas (from an action-furioso to a Japanese porno-starlet-nudity): a real genre discovery of the past year.
