I’ll admit, I was drawn to this movie because of Jung Hae In, who I honestly think is one of the best and most versatile Korean actors out there. To be fair, the story is pretty predictable, but it kicks off with a light, funny, well-executed action sequence that sets the tone and keeps you hooked from start to finish.
The film is packed with fast-paced action scenes and equally engaging mystery elements, but what really sets it apart is the humor and the smart, sensitive way it tackles social issues, like inequality and cops who’ll go to any lengths to deliver justice.
What makes the movie truly special, though, are the performances: Hwang Jung Min as the sly detective Seo Doncheol and Park Sun Woo as the fearless rookie. The fight and martial arts scenes are choreographed beautifully without ever feeling over the top.
The cinematography adds to the suspense, amplifying the dark, mysterious vibe around the serial killer and creating a constant sense of urgency and tension. And don’t skip the post-credits scene, it’s worth it. I’m already excited for the third film in this franchise
