As Crônicas do Mal

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.

I love the twists in Korean movies. They are obvious once you know them, but the whole trick is that you would have never guessed that this is the way it is going to happen. Here we are given many clues and still it isn't until the very end when everything becomes clear. I was positively surprised by Hyeon-ju Son playing the main character. I watched him at the same time in The Phone (2015) and thought here his role was much better. The movie is a nice introduction to Seo-Joon Park, who is recently becoming quite popular. If you liked him go and check 'Midnight Runners'.

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.

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...

Valuable for our time. This film keeps the audience engaged throughout the end with a mystery. The expected the unexpected twist was really awesome. An huge advantage of this film was, it can be seen by any age sort of people because there was no any adult content. A good entertainer in this pandemic situation. Don't miss this film.
