A 2015 South Korean awkwardly named but entertaining yarn of an arrogant defense attorney, Lee Sun-kyun, getting a case where he has to defend a driver, Choi Jae-woong, of a murder especially since there's evidence & eyewitness testimony he was stalking the woman & a large suitcase was thrown from her apartment window, presumably w/her remains. While this case is being handled, a pharmaceutical company, which Sun-kyun has already gotten off in a separate trial over dangerous side effects from one of their drugs, plays out which as the narrative continues is made more confusing when the missing girl, Kim Yoon-hye, turns up trying to flee from a body parts exchange. What turns out to be one case having connections to the other sends Sun-kyun into a morass of a corrupt CEO, thuggish guards & a lot of planning to get over on the evil powers that be by film's end as Sun-kyun keeps multiple plates in the air, including fending off the investigative advances from a detective, Kim Go-eun, who's constantly on his case. Other than the gruesome recreation of the murder which is more blood splattered than a butcher's knife, the film succeeds on the lead's desperate charisma & his willingness to go to the mat for his clientele.
This is a fairly entertaining mystery movie about a hotshot lawyer who is cocky as hell trying to solve a murder mystery. It's a pretty mediocre and forgettable movie, maybe it's because I saw this after seeing "The Accidental Detective". But I thought this movie was a alright watch. The characters work quite well with one another and the direction for the most parts are coherent and easy to follow. It really doesn't bring anything new to this genre. Overall it's a generic mystery crime movie with some elements of comedy, but it works alright. Nothing that makes it stand out but it's a okay watch.
