Election film posterIf you can’t tell, I geek out on Asian cinema, specifically their gangster pictures. Yakuza and triad films usually follow the same basic plot path of any other gangster picture, but always seem more appealing. Election is one of those films. When a local Chinese triad elects its newest biannual chairman, the symbolic baton that is usually passed on has been stolen. Badass-machete-wielding triad thugs have to go find it and bring it back. That’s the movie, at least what you need to know. Its not the best film, but its one of the better genre films on Instant Queue right now, so check it out and let me know what you think.
