Like so many of the genre that hail from Seoul and its suburbs, this one punches well above its weight with an inventive reworking of well-worn plot tropes and slick production values. Nov 14, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

As much fun as it is to watch Lee beat people up and strut around in shiny pinstripe suits, it's just as much of a pleasure to watch him think it all through. Jun 3, 2019 | Full Review…

This is the sort of sepia-glazed, midnight viewing cheesiness coming from a young mind, with masculinity carrying a crayon-drawn border around its unholy trio. Jan 16, 2020 | Full Review…

There's not much going on beneath the energetic surface, but for the most part The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil is a fast-paced, entertaining thriller buoyed by two engaging leads. Don't mess it up in translation, Sly. Nov 13, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The hook here - the interplay between our three leads and the twists, action, and humor that can be wrung from it-- is the end all and be all of The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil. It's designed to entertain you, and it does a great job at that. Oct 3, 2019 | Full Review…

Lee delivers a thrilling crime actioner, bolstered by his eye for livening up the screen with pops of color, some brutal fight scenes, one very solid car chase, and another commanding performance from Ma Dong-seok. Sep 3, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review…
