One of the classics of gangster themed movies. I was pretty hyped before watching but that slowly turned into waiting for the next fight scene or trying to get emotional over the character's life choices. This film sure created some difficult to judge characters and that is a good point, complicated and complex characters can ensure the movie watcher's curiosity till the end. The music is legendary, I had heard it even before watching the movie and that is what made me watch this film. Personally I was not satisfied with the fight scenes, there were not enough close-ups and gore in them yet it is supposed to portray the extreme violence present in the underworld.
It was a story worth telling and with the help of amazingly talented actors it was sure to become a classic but classics tend to dissappoint me(Old Boy) of course there are exceptions(The Man from Nowhere) but not this one. I wanted to see more scenes involving Hyung Bae's character, the real mob boss, his past and his journey of self-accomplishment. The ending scene created tension and the possible chance of taking revenge and I would've loved to watch that. The conclusion we get is that entering the criminal underworld would always ensure a bitter end and the one who does the betraying part will be the only one who will get away.
