Revenge of the Green Dragons

Revenge of the Green Dragons (2014) is a crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Set in Flushing, Queens at the tail end of the 1980s, it follows two immigrant brothers, Sonny and Steven, who chase the American dream and instead get swallowed by the Green Dragons, a Chinatown gang that runs the block.

It starts with turf brawls, extortion and a fast climb up the gang ladder. Then Sonny falls for the wrong girl, and the bond between brothers cracks wide open until blood is fighting blood. Circling them is a worn-down detective played by Ray Liotta, who has spent years trying to bring the Dragons in. Justin Chon and Kevin Wu carry the leads, and the film spares neither them nor the audience.

Andrew Lau, the director of Infernal Affairs, co-helms with Andrew Loo, and Martin Scorsese came aboard as producer. The story grew out of real reporting on Chinatown's gang wars, and the violence here arrives with no romance attached. Grim, brutal, made for fans of hard Asian crime.
