BULLHEAD 牛頭良心

COUNTRY

Belgium比利時

Synopsis

The young cattle farmer Jacky makes a shady deal with a notorious beef trader by injecting steroids and hormones to his livestock and selling them to the market. When an investigating federal agent is assassinated and a woman from his traumatic past resurfaces, Jacky must confront his demons and face the far-reaching consequences of his decisions. BULLHEAD is based on a real crime scene in Belgium called hormone mafia. Matthias Schoenaerts, who gained muscle weight of 30 kilograms to portray the contrasting character of Jacky between brutality and vulnerability, gives a ferocious breakout performance of the tragedy of Jacky's betrayal and fall from innocence in the past that is too dark to unveil. Check out his powerful performance in RUST AND BONE too!
