What critics compared Bleeder to
A Bangkok-set tale of terrible crimes and horrific punishments, its oneiric odyssey closely compares with hellish Viking drama Valhalla Rising (right down to the prophesying interludes), while its pervasively bleak view of human nature harks back to calling-card works like Bleeder.
Mr. Refn’s early movies (1996’s “Pusher,” 1999’s “Bleeder”) showed him to be a gifted if willfully outré genre director.
