Ak-ui yeon-dae-gi

Just when you think you've got the story figured out, everything flips and those who, till then displayed the most innocence and integrity become the driving narrative - the evil. Meanwhile, the overtly self-serving character shines with a good albeit misguided heart in the end. Incidentally, this was the first pairing of Park Seo-joon and Son Hyeon-ju; they would team up later in Itaewon Class as father and son, reprising the flavour of the relationship they seemed to have in this film.

This thriller is actually really interesting. It is rather exciting to see the main character prevent himself from being discovered by the rest of his team. This movie starts out strong and has a good pace throughout, with the final act containing most of the action. This movie does end in a twist, and depending on how you feel, you can either go with it or completely black out. The twist is rather over the top, but it does make sense. The only issue I have is that during the final few minutes, this movie becomes a little bit too melodramatic, with characters crying, and the music becoming very sentimental and over-dramatic. This actually is something that is a trend in South Korean Action Thrillers (Example: Man From Nowhere, I saw the Devil, Taegukgi).

Another fun Korean cop thriller in which a corrupt cop finds himself caught in a devious, ever-tightening trap. There are stylistic similarities to genre classics like A HARD DAY and that '80s classic NO WAY OUT, but this one manages to plough its own furrow. The film benefits from the usual high quality production values we associate with Korean cinema, and delivers plenty of narrative in the running time. The protagonist is realistic rather than sympathetic, although you do get a winning turn from Ma Dong-seok, on the cusp of super stardom. Despite the familiarity of the story there's some good tension here and a twist ending that genuinely surprises.

Must be airing in Netflix. This Original better than remake. Solid script. See other side of Park Seo Joon... his acting. Hyun Joo and Ma Dong Seok too ... Captain Choi: It's easy to be kind, but hart to be fair...

The movie starts with assassinator trying to kill Choi who is the best police officer of the town. To save his ownself, he killed the assassinator. He removes all the prints and evidences and leaves the place. Next morning everyone finds a dead body hanging on the crane in front of the police station. Where the chief officer is pressing him to solve the case, he is hiding evidences against himself. At the point, he remember a case where four officers worked together and all are dead except him. He starting digging things more and more and find himself more entangle in this more. On the other hand, office officers get the video evidence of his murdering. What did the four officer do? Who is behind all this?

Personally, I loved it. It is quite interesting from starting to ending. It is hard to not keep on eye in it. I really didn't predict the last twist and the framing with a crime was mindblowing.
