A bag of money is the center of this crime story. Concentrate on the different characters at first, even if you don't get the connection. It will come together later. And everything does come together in a clever way. There is violence but not as bad as Quentin or Coen Bros. Jung Woo Sung is the big star here and he is good. But it is an ensemble cast the pulls this crime story with a hint of dark comedy together.

Clever show. Concentrate for the first half things come together!
I love Korean filmmaking!
Definitely a fun movie experience. Could have been better (felt a little derivative at times),but pretty amazing for a directorial debut. Very nice film to look at.
The acting was of a very high level across the entire cast. Interesting ensemble of characters that felt unique and believable.
Wish the runtime was a bit longer so certain characters and certain story elements could be more fully fleshed out. Being based on a book, there was a lot left on the cutting room floor unfortunately.
Korean version of ''No country for old men''
I wont say it a total copy of ''No country for old men'' but it has some similarities. Specially, the money thing and killing every single one in its way .Besides, A lot of changes are made. Truly speaking, I like this one most. This isn't for everyone of course! Who doesn't get dark comedy at all. But for me it is worth watching. At first, I was pretty confused as I wasn't getting what's really going on! I didn't understood those character development and also the plots. After that plot started taking interesting turns as time pased. And I also love the way the director connected all those characters and plots.
