Viewing Notes

Effective corporate crime thriller with enough double-crosses to make a quilt. Lee Byung-hun does evil well (see Good, the Bad, the Weird) as the scam artist working over common folk for millions. Kan Dong-won makes for a good foil to take him down. Kim Woo-bin is the poor sucker caught between the two juggling his alliance when it serves him best. Jin Kyeong is the wicked partner in crime; she stirs the pot as things heat up. Not much new ground is covered in this sub-genre but this well crafted and thoroughly entertaining. Plus salt & pepper Lee Byung-hun is one handsome fella.
