Only God Forgives Trailer and review - Mom Is a Drug Lord, and Gore Is a Narcotic. In ‘Only God Forgives,’ a Mother Is Bent on Revenge. The closest thing to a human character in Nicolas Winding Refn’s blood-drenched, nihilistic reverie “Only God Forgives” is Crystal (Kristin Scott Thomas), a foul-mouthed, platinum-haired gorgon who flies to Bangkok from the United States to avenge the murder of Billy (Tom Burke), the elder of her two sons. That Billy came to a bloody end after savagely raping and murdering a 16-year-old prostitute doesn’t seem to bother Crystal, who runs an international drug smuggling enterprise. “I’m sure he had his reasons,” she says airily.

So what is on Mr. Refn’s mind? Here is what he says in a director’s note: “The original concept for the film was to make a movie about a man who wants to fight God.” All right. Whatever.

The God surrogate, Chang (Vithaya Pansringarm), is a sword-wielding retired policeman whom the production notes describe as “a figurehead of divine justice who has resolved to scourge the corrupt underworld of brothels and fight clubs.” When not slicing and dicing people, he can be found crooning pop songs in a karaoke bar.
Unable to give his automaton any suggestion of an inner life, Mr. Gosling moves through “Only God Forgives” as if in a slow-motion trance. He starred in Mr. Refn’s last film, “Drive,” and will survive this catastrophe. But whether Mr. Refn can recover is open to question.
The movie is so devoid of emotion that its ritualized gore acts as a narcotic. Filmed in shades of red, with a minimal screenplay, “Only God Forgives” looks like a ghoulish fashion shoot in hell.
Three words should suffice: pretentious macho nonsense.
“Only God Forgives” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian) for extreme, bloody violence; grisly images; sexual content; and language.
