      • Apr 18, 2011
        It's absolutely chaotic to look at with visual tricks and flashy camerawork accompanying the hard-hitting, brutal, but relatively bloodless, action and fights. It's a unique little Korean action-thriller but the plot is lacking and the cops are even more brutal than the drug-dealers they're at war with, so they don't come across as very likeable. It's fun and unique though and worth a look if you like far-eastern cinema.

        Overbearingly stylish, with rich colors, flashy quick cuts, jumpy edits, speed metal musical scores..all cumulating to an original, creative arthouse look that detracts from the experience instead of enhancing it. This film feels like a music video...shallow characterization and a weak script all adds up to a pretty picture that lacks any real depth.

        Brutal but bland Korean cops chase crooks through a generic plot. With its blaring soundtrack, flashy editing and pointless camera tricks, it seems like a 112 minute music video, with all the depth of characterization typical in that genre.

        Brutal, funny and stylishly directed film about Korean cops tracking down a murdering gangster, creates some great characters with stunning, atypical images. Some may be shocked by the methods used by the Korean homicide investigators, as they rabidly trash human rights to accomplish their goal.
