A familiar story, well told

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.
