Are power and money really worth losing yourself?
I'm not a big fan of crime films, but I watched this one because of Song Joong Ki—and I don't regret it. At first, the plot seemed slow and dull, but Joong Ki's performance still managed to keep me engaged. He transformed into a charismatic yet cold-blooded character searching for his path in the ruthless world of crime. His character reminded me of Vincenzo—it’s as if everything started with this film, and then he moved on to the mafia haha.
Moral: The path to success can be so dark that there’s no turning back. The protagonist starts with the desire to survive but gradually gets trapped by his own choices. The film shows how circumstances can change a person and how thin the line is between fighting for a better life and losing one’s humanity.
I can’t say the film left me in awe. It lacked emotional intensity, and some scenes felt dry, failing to evoke the right emotions. The overall atmosphere didn’t stand out, and the supporting characters remained underdeveloped, making them hard to follow.
Despite everything, the film raises important questions: Can a crime be justified if it’s the only way to survive? And are power and money worth losing yourself?
