I saw this film a few weeks ago as part of the Copenhagen film-festival, and here is what I got from it: The plot evolves around a gambling detective, Jo Pil-seong (Yun-seok Kim), who frequently "borrows" money from his wife, so he can go out and make (mostly unsuccessful) bets on various bull-racing-contests. When he unexpectedly makes it big time, all his winnings are stolen by a notorious thief, Gi-tae Song (Kyeong-ho Jeong), who also happens to be an expert martial artist, not easily captured or beaten.

Jo rounds up his gang of dim-witted henchmen and goes after the thief, but it is no easy task, and every time they get near him, they usually end up getting a severe beating, and/or he escapes like a Ninja, not wanting to be caught. Meanwhile, the official state police also tries to capture him, but they are even worse at it, and actually aids him more than stops him, much to the annoyance of Jo and his buddies. But they discover that he may have a weakness, which is a young girl he has been having a romantic relationship with.. and the hunt gets a whole new dimension.

I thought the movie was a somewhat forgettable, but mildly entertaining action-thriller-comedy, with a lot of very well-choreographed action-sequences, which kept the tempo at a fast pace, and the comedy elements were pretty good too, although sometimes a bit too much to keep the focus of the story. Not the best Korean movie I've ever seen, but definitely not the worst one either. Recommended for people who like hunt/chase-films filled with action and comic relief.

It's entertaining and quite funny at times, but ultimately not very memorable. I would say it's a decent movie for a lazy night.

I didn't really enjoy this movie at all, I especially hated all the characters in this movie, especially the criminal cause he tries to act all charismatic and stuff but he simply is not. It just wasn't that entertaining and the film felt a bit too narrow to the point everything is so predictable. Although this isn't one of the worst I seen of this type of genre but it's far from the best. It just feels like a waste of time after watching it though. Overall it's a pretty dull movie from beginning to end, and I didn't even think the action sequence was that good either.

4.5/10
