"Blood Debts" is the tale of a man who sees his daughter die, kills the killers, then just keeps on killing because revenge wasn't really enough I guess. His wife also gets taken so he kills some more, now with some assassin lady that he is supposed to watch over. It turns out he has been killing mob guys, so the police are cool with it but that explains why he can't seem to get a break from being pursued. The film is perhaps most famous for ending on a freeze frame of an explosion with text over it, explaining some kind of epilogue like they ran out of money to make a real ending.
There was a lot of good stuff in this film overall, but it had moments of being pretty slow. The dialogue felt strange and unnatural at all times with lines that were just slightly off and reads that were often monotone and had the vibe of someone who just learned English even though they were all native speakers. The ending is a particularly strange experience, and overall, it's worth your time to watch.
