Leave it to the South Koreans to make yet another solid crime drama. They are the absolute masters of crime IN THE WORLD. I am dead serious.
This movie hoiwever didnt reach the heights of some other classic Korean crime masterpieces, but it was still an enjoyable watch and recommended for the fans of this genre.
Any bad? There is a lack of intense drama, because the supporting actors arent formidable, but merely okay. The leading actress is really good, but not extraordinary good, which is another reason this drama didnt really excell like it could have with different casting. The leading actress was still good enough for me to really enjoy her cool, calm and collected presence though.
What we have here is a typical revenge gangster crime drama without much of the usual violence, because this time around we have got a female leading role and she handles things more with her brain then with bullets. And I loved that. It made this story more credible in comparison to many Western crime thrillers in which female leading roles suddenly have fighting capabilities of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Beatifully directed. Credible story. Great suspense. Doesnt reach the dramatic heights I had hoped for, but still worth a solid 7 stars.
