The Movie:
The film is far from realistic images with a gangster world of the typical mafia and gangster bosses that we know from American movies. The story is far from Lifelike, what stands out among others by the illustrated life of the protagonists, which is not only about life as a gangster is, but where you see the normal side of the people as they eat together in a small apartment or together have fun in a karaoke bar. The

My opinion:
As a big fan of Korean cinema I could this film not . refuse
The magnificent story and the great performance of the actor as the full effect, because who expects a typical gangster film, is not at his expense.
It's all a little different not only because it is a different country, which of course uses different approaches and methods, it is simply more realistic and it is so much better to put themselves in the story and its characters as if you have a Mafia movie looks great.
The loose circumvention of the "family members" which just as quickly turns into professionalism in the money driving and then goes into a joyous celebration is much more credible than the appearance of ever thinking to work Mafiosi, seen often in other productions.
But just as well as the history of the band are also fighting and murders, it is not exaggerated martial-arts choreography, but more just like a normal fight between two rival gangs, of course, jump and connect the people here, but they do not land on his feet or take breathtaking stunts, but they fall after the jump and how ordinary people have to get up again until, without turning a somersault or other spectacular. When the murders, it looks like, no wacky bloodshed, no blatant killing action with a machine gun, it all happens in "hand", with baseball bats, knives and bare fists when you can feel the remorse in the killer.
I've talked with the film felt very good, he is now, not compare with Korean movies such as "Vengeance Trilogy by Park Chan-Wook, but who liked these movies will make this film won nothing wrong.

The reference I had it before the 1 variant of Splendid, which with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 (anamorph / 16:9) and a Korean and German audio track ( both in 5.1) comes along.
was to German sound track a little information given at the end of the film there is a scene in a disco in the Korean original sound of the song "My Boss" of the German band "Aquagen" is played, is the frequently the phrase "It is time for Party Alarm" said the German, you have this song, however, replaced by an unfamiliar other techno song, why me is not clear, but I type on legal problems in the first publication.
