Good South Korean crime thriller.

South Korean cinema, definitely one of my favorites. They manage to surprise me every time. From all Asian countries, they're by far the best. No overacting like in the other Asian countries, instead you get more than decent acting. Yong-Eui-Ja X (or Perfect Number for the English title) is a slow paced crime thriller. Good cinematography, engaging story, and excellent acting. Maybe not the best South Korean movie but certainly worth watching.
