Great Film overall
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
MOVIE REVIE (Title: Sasaeng gyeoldan) I have seen Sasaeng gyeoldan. It's a black eat black world. The story of a reckless cop Lieutenant Do (Expertly played by Jeong-min Hwang) and a crystal me-th dealer named Ji-young (Ja-Hyeon Chu) who works as a informant for the police. The two form an unlikely partnership in order to take down a ruthless crime lord. It's very excellent, stylish, very enterta and very gloomy. Also good crime thriller. Great performances.!!! Jeong-min Hwang, Seung-beom Ryu is very very very good actor!!!!! If you think same me, Irecommend another movie that same actor. It's 'You are my sunshine', Crying Fist. <<< Also very excellent. It's must have see.
I'm not sure how one would say this movie is crap. Its hands down one of the best crime/drug related movie I have ever seen. The acting is dead on and the action keeps you glued to your sets the whole entire film.The style of the director is totally something new and original to Korean films I have yet to see. I couldn't even see one real flaw with this film. Then again, this is my opinion! I hope you take your time to watch this amazing movie and let it blow you away, literally! You can def. feel a Quentin Tarantino style to this as well. Than again, I'd say this is for the most die hard of drug/crime genre fans. Best film I've seen in 07 by far.SIMPLY AMAZING!
This is simply an excellent crime/drug movie with great acting and great cinematography. If you are an individual in the younger generation (teens, 20's, 30's) you will most probably enjoy this movie. You get a very stylish look into the life of the Pusan (second largest Korean city; also largest port in Korea) drug/crime underworld.In fact, Busan is famous for it's gangsters, being the second largest city of Korea and also a mecca for import/export trading. It is also the closest point between Korea and Japan. After the war (WWII), a lot of Koreans and Japanese inter-migrated through this city, during a time when industrialism and yaks gangs developed tremendously. Knowing this, you may get a better understanding of the scenery and setting of this awesome movie.
Both main actors deliver a great show here. The director tells us yet another cop-and-gangster drama, but thankfully he doesn't try to remake HARD BOILED korean style. Instead, he makes us laugh most of the time! The cop is dirty and crazy, his monologues are so funny, you wont stop laughing. All the flashback scenes are great, too. The style of the movie is kinda like SNATCH, sometime very hectic, but the camera did a great job - so did the musician. Groovy! Only the ending, damn, do korean movies always have to end so weird? All the movie is fun, until the end, then the movie changes its comedy style all of a sudden - not so good. But anyway, absolutely worth watching.
