What a waste of my time!!!
The greatest movie ever made..!
One of the best films i have seen
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
View MoreWarning spoiler. Acting in this is absolutely superb. I was in thralled right up to the ending. I don't know what type of bullets the Korean place used to bring a suspect down however the ending was so abrupt from a high intensity of action to a surprise appearance of the hero who we presumed dead, grave stone and all some miraculous recovery from an onslaught of high-powered rifles. It just didn't make any sense.
View MoreAnother OK Korean movie. A fine police drama, but without the cool fights. Nah, they don't kung-fu-or-whatever they way throughout the movie, they are regular dudes.Some parts actually left me with a huge knot in the throat. I liked the acting.Plot is fine and nothing special, but it has its nice aftermath. An OK movie to watch on a Sunday while drinking a few cold-ones.
View MoreI like Korean action cinema. They don't have to hide behind US Blockbusters, quite the contrary, there are movies that excel some of the Hollywood fare. But this movie is not quite up to that task, which is a shame.The outline overall is quite good, the main actors are real enough (although their motives and intentions might be unclear and stay that way for some western audience members). The action set pieces are good, but a bit too shaky for my taste. A previous reviewer compared this movie to the wonderful "A bittersweet Life". I'd steer away from that comparison. A bittersweet Life is much more philosophical than this movie is, but more about that movie under it's own IMDb page (I highly recommend you to watch "A bittersweet Life")
View MoreGood stuff baby! Homicide Detective JANG and Chief Inspector OH are hot on the trail of the ever elusive and seemingly untouchable Gangster boss YU.Now Jang is like a thug himself beating out confessions and going on vigilante rampages but the man is on a mission of revenge. Inspector OH , on the other hand is your clean cut, by the book career cop trying to make the world a better place by fighting organized crime. Extenuating circumstances bring the two together because they are after the same people essentially in Boss YU and his crime family. Boss YU is not one to be trifled with as he is major connected in legitimate and illegitimate ways to the top of the food chain in the gangster and political scene. He is like the Zen Master Gangster who is adept at the Art of War. He is always pulling something out to escape the clutches of his foes and those who are against him or stand in his way always face death or double cross.The tension is high and the pace never relents. Each scene plays out like a chess game that is opening up as the story unfolds revealing bits and pieces of a murderous game. The acting is superb if you like intensity and the quality of production is impressive to say the least. The characters are definitely attention getting. The tension between the three main players just burns with each pursuing a destiny that consumes them.
