The violence is filmed in a seductive, attractive, hyper-stylized fashion that lends it an aura of hipness. The absurd, gigantic fight at the film's climax is a perfect example, as is the scene with the postal worker (I think he was a postal worker) giving the gang members they're come-uppance.The filmmakers surely intend to say the violence is nothing but tragic, but again, the stylized gloss they use to frame it simply obscures the point.
