Rating 2.4/5
I have to look at again when of this movie was released as I thought it may be early 20’s and no, it’s really 2019. I think you know what I mean especially regarding the plot. The movie is just OKAY. Some of my remarks:
-The main protagonist Jung Tae-suk is annoying from the beginning. I was thinking that he may have a lot of cards in his sleeves but has actually nothing. I was giving the benefit of the doubt about him but the movie ended and he is as I thought he is. He is acting so cool especially when being with the gangster leader Ma Dong. It’s also true when being with his colleagues and superior. I thought they may have a good relationship like friends before but there is none. Ma Dong has easily took care of his rival Heo Sang-do but it is so surprising why he did not get rid of Tae-suk considering the degree of how the later would interfere with his business and how he treats him.
-The serial killer, who does not have clear motive, appears not to be that smart but it took a difficulty of the joint forces of powerful gangster and cops to have him.
-Whatever message the movie wants to tell about the incompetence of cops, they overly portrayed them like they are literally children fighting over a candy.
