Summary: Tae-su, a detective fighting organized crime, returns to his hometown for his high school friend Wang-jae's funeral. At the funeral, he meets his old friends Pil-ho, Dong-hwan and Seok-hwan and they reminisce. Suspecting something fishy about Wang-jae's death, Tae-su and Seok-hwan start investigating it each in his own way. Both of their investigations lead to a land development project that Pil-ho is directing and the two embark on a difficult battle. (imdb)

I forgot why I saw this... Basically a Kill Bill-ripoff with real Asians and a poor attempt at the QT-style of cinema.. A few fun fights, but the sloppy direction doesn't do justice to their obviously innate abilities of ass kicking.. To quote it's final words; Fuck it...

It doesn't offer anything new, but the frantic, almost Double Dragon-ish action scenes compensate for the lesser parts. The story wobbles between being too serious and being over the top, while never becoming interesting.

A Korean "Bullet in the Head." Action scenes are the highlight, scenes about land are the lowlight.

Some good parts, including a decent ending, but otherwise perhaps not the best of the new wave of Korean crime dramas. For that, you must seek A Bittersweet Life, No Mercy For The Rude and other more serious or engaging titles. Fight scenes are entertaining though.

Basically a string of scenes that have been done better and first elsewhere, held together by pretty mediocre action scenes.

A couple good action scenes hold this script together by the hinges. Loved the Baseball Furies nod though.
