‘Looks terrific... has a confident brutal grace that
brings to mind Leone, De Palma and Scorsese’
- Philip French, The Observer
‘Byung-hun puts in a star-making performance...
hugely enjoyable and beautifully brutal’
★★★★
- Empire
‘Tarantino-esque mayhem, messy rebirth and ultra-
violent destruction serve to dramatise Sun-woo’s
conflicting inner desires as he shadow-boxes with
himself as much as taking down everyone else’
- Little White Lies
‘Buy this move – it is simply quite fantastic’
- AV Forums
A loyal gangster Sun-woo (Lee Byung-hun – I Saw The Devil, The Magnificent Seven), falls foul of his gang when he’s assigned to keep watch over the young mistress of his crime boss. When he’s unable to carry out an order to kill the girlfriend and her new lover, things take an ultra-violent turn.
His boss wants payback, but has he taken on the wrong adversary? After a brutal beating, Sun-woo is hellbent on vengeance and embarks on a vicious rampage of punishment... there will be blood, blood and more blood. As the body count rises, the action ramps up, until the furiously violent mayhem reaches its thunderous crescendo.
