Friend (Aka: Chingoo)

The cover of this movie lead me to believe it was an all out gangster movie. The pictures suggest a lot of crime and a lot of violence, the write up on the cover also suggest it a little more then there actually is.
Friend is a movie about a group of friends who grow up together in the same town, they're close friends despite all having very different home lives. The movie travels through different times in their lives from their childhood, to teenage years, onto university and into their professional careers.
Two of the friends enter a life of crime where as the others chose a clean life style.
Friend is well shot in the way it doesn't favour one character, the story flows nicely showing you them in their personal lives and when they reunite as friends.
It's hard to talk about this movie without giving too much away but basically, it's directed well, written well and acted out well...

Overall: Friend is a very entertaining and interesting movie, it's a gangster flick with a strong story of friendship. It's quite an original piece, there are moments which'll make you laugh and make you cry, it's a touching movie with deep metaphors to be solved if you'd like to.
It's a very entertaining movie, you'll definitely love it... it's a Winner!
