Dark Figure of Crime

Great detective movie, it won't disappoints you the acting of Yoon-Seok Kim was great

DARK FIGURE OF CRIME is a somewhat unremarkable true crime tale from South Korea, similar to MEMORIES OF MURDER but not on the same level. It involves Kim Yoon-seok (of stone-cold classics like THE CHASER and THE YELLOW SEA) as a detective reopening a cold case about a serial killer who claims to have murdered multiple other victims whose bodies have never been found. There are some flashbacks here but the majority is a cat-and-mouse psychological game between detective and killer, the latter played by the guy who was the crown prince in KINGDOM. Sedately paced but involving with it, this is a good watch for fans of the genre.

First time watching so sleepy so did not finish. Next time, I will watch it again with my family until the end of the movie. The content of the movie is good, worth watching, sometimes the plot is a bit fast and confusing, making it easy to fall asleep.

Totally disappointed. The reconstructions are not as interesting and dramatic as I expected. The best thing from the movie is probably the good acting of the actors.

Excellent crime thriller about a detective seeking further punishment of a convicted murderer who despite confessing to further crimes, uses legal loopholes and the statute of limitations, coupled with half truths and misinformation to evade justice. Kim Yoon-seok's performance was outstanding as usual and rising star Ju Ji-hoon was also very impressive, balancing his performance well. Based on a true story, strongly recommend.
