Night in Paradise

I am in love with this movie. The characters,scenario,dialogues,acing,scene shooting,processing of the movie, are all very good. Acion, drama, love, you can find every of them. Especially the final was a masterpiece. Watch and. Make it watch.

I desperately guessed that the best Korean crime flicks were history, after the terrific wave of the early 2000's: bloody, gritty, brutal and so moving in the same time. I won't repeat the list, there were too many of them. And since several years now, we had to puke watching so many craps, more than the Hollywood garbage junks, with plenty of action and those damn F...HAPPY ENDINGS that I neraly forgot what the korean film industry was. But now, I can breath again. This film is a real hit in the groin. Awesome. I spent one hour sending mails to my friends, ordering them not to miss this jewell, at any cost. I will continue the whole day.

Inspite of the film's lengthy runtime, i never felt bore. The film is indeed very different from ur regular gangster movie.

Night In Paradise is yet another good movie coming from South Korea. This country releases good movies over and over again. Not every Asian country does that but South Korea is definitely the best Asian country when it's about quality movies. No overacting here, all solid performances from the entire cast. You have to be able to indulge some violence though, hardcore violence, the Clockwork Orange kind, the ultra violence. It can be very bloody and violent but it's a mob movie so what else do you expect? It was all very well directed, great cinematography as well. I'm not surprised anymore when it comes from South Korea. In fact I search for those little gems now coming from there. The list is too long with solid movies from there. Night In Paradise is a long movie but it never fails to entertain, from beginning till the end.

If you set out to make a gangster movie in these times. This is how it should be done, right hand man loses his family, the blame is placed on a rival gang, his grief causes him to sacrifice his career in the family on revenge, in order to smooth things over, he has to leave town and settle elsewhere, in a small town he stays with a old gangster and his quirky niece , meanwhile back on the home front , the two rival gangs battle for supremacy, and things don't work in favor of the gang of the right hand man who had to leave town, the big boss wants revenge and don't care how he obtains it, this sets up the second half of this film quite well in my opinion, because the right hand man and the quirky niece both get to know each other and discover they both have their share of grief and sorrow in their life, to which it becomes apparently clear that things will not get better at all, the right hand gets betrayed by his boss and this set off a chain of explosive and tragic events, this story of grief, betrayal and revenge is bloody, unrelenting yet at the same time atmospheric, moody and a beautifully filmed production, the third act of this movie got me applauding , the last Korean gangster movie that I really liked a lot was the Yellow sea, it had all the elements of this movie , the acting in this movie was excellent, it had some unintentional hilarious lines between the main bosses , the main character who portrayed the right hand man was fantastic, the director did a excellent job of not watering down nothing, he gave us , a straight to the point gangster movie, if you like it hardcore and gritty welcome aboard, I recommend this movie , if you enjoy crime thrillers .
