The Unjust

Everyone has a dark side, and no one in politics is impeccable. Rigidity scolds in front of him, while gentleness strips off and kneels down. Only those who can bend and stretch out can go on. But the final winner is the one closer to power.

Well, first time I totally hated the film because firstly I'm not a korean speaker and the film is dialogue heavy, specially in the beginning but as soon as you understand the first 15-20 minutes of storyline then the rest keeps you hooked itself.. I've never been happier being proved wrong to myself. A must watch film, specially if you are a crime thriller junky..

Great cast with many fine, veteran actors, several playing against type. But for me the plot was often confusing and sometimes annoyingly predictable. However, the power corrupts theme and ending work well. I would recommend it for a light evening viewing.

A truly original and refreshingly honest depiction of the complex and tragically flawed individuals who are tasked with navigating the inherently inefficient and sometimes blatantly corrupt criminal justice system in Korea. Deftly blurring the moral and psychological distinction between the "good and bad guys", so we get such a deeply nuanced and often frustratingly human anti-hero this exceptional film consistently and defiantly refuses to resort to typical one-dimensional reductive cops and robbers cliches in both its structuring, and even more impressively with its exhilaratingly executed character development. If you're looking for a mindless, soulless action film you best search elsewhere.

Great potential this complex story, very unusual and that should have been remade by the Hollywood film industry I guess. It would have been made. But it remains a solid crime flick from South Korea anyway; a bit confused but efficient.
