Asura

This film is far better than what they have explained. If you love film-noir, dark and gripping film, then Do watch it, I'm sure you will love it

Dark gloomy manly muscular film noir

Absolutely corrupted mayor and his slavery police detective together ruining the justice.

This story is sort of the real in Corea. Too many politicians are evil and the rotten police men support them in many ways. They even try to blast the city gas pipeline and policemen never investigate about the fire on the city gas pipeline despite the firemen blamed and ordered to investigate.

This movie is realistic in those ways of Corean lives and so interesting and exciting film noir as well.

The car chasing scenes are some of the best cuts in the years! Even only that car chasing cuts must be able to pay back enough of your time.

Asura is surely the best Corean gangster film in the years!

Did not expect to see a memorable movie like this perfectly acted by the politicians..... maybe the violence is extreme but the thrill will get you to the edge of your seat..... always remember this movie for life and i cannot find any comparison to any action political movie that I watched from 2000 to now......i am not exaggerated for my comments..... this is from the bottom of my heart.......

Wake up world, wake up to one of the MASTERS of South Korean crime movies: director and writer Kim Sung-su.

This South Korean crime movie should be INSTANTLY (RE)released in the Western cinemas. This kind of cinema one often simply cant find anymore in the Western movie theatres, but the South Koreans keep churning out these crime masterpieces one after the other! Incredible.

What mastery! What gutwrenching human drama. What heinous, low life characters, yet still so humanlike and true to life. What overwhelming, vicious, over the top violence.

I cant believe this incredible crime drama has only gotten 17 reviews on Imdb, while it is one the very best South Korean crime movies that I have seen lately.

The synopsis doesnt begin to cover the explosion of human viciousness which this movie blasts upon us viewers, especially at the very end. Violence breeds more violence. And human depravity breeds more vicious and heinous backstabbing. Wanna witness this jungle of greed and misery in all it's dark "splendor", then please press play and witness ALL HELL BREAK LOOSE...

I wanna say one thing first, It's the first film that created such a cult boom like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)" among South Korean moviegoers. That is enough value for this film in the South-Korean film industry. I will write down a more detailed review later.
