Different desires of these lowlifes slowly gather around the money bag. The destinies of hard-luck lowlifes slowly converge and come crashing down: Jung Man barely gets by working at a sauna and taking care of his sick mother until he finds a bag full of cash in the locker room; Tae Young is in trouble after his girlfriend runs away with the money he borrowed from a loan shark. Soon, a dead body mysteriously turns up; Mi Ran, caught between her husband’s violence and a dead-end job as a bar hostess, she finds a young lover Jin Tae, who offers to kill her husband… And now their dog-eat-dog game starts.

This movie Isn't for everyone but....

It's a compelling movie of twists and turns of thrills and gore, it follows multiple stories, those of people in debt, or other's who have unstable relationships, it shows the greed and temptation when someone is pushed far over the edge of normality, showing people slowly turn into 'beasts', where it illustrates people in situations where the only way to survive is to risk everything to get there even if that means being unethical and destroying other people, this movie shows the true nature of someone when there is a chance of a life changing amount of money close from reach. ,The film is structured in a clever way from the timelines to the way the story is split to different chapters like a book. Each chapter felt like a branch of a tree slowly growing enough to the center of the tree which would be the final outcome
Just by looking at the cast this was already in my mind a movie I shouldn't miss and I was right, the acting from all of the characters was crazy good which really made the movie more enjoyable.
Overall I recommend this to a particular type of audience more on the mature side who can stomach gore and blood and slightly graphic violent scenes, It is a must watch if you enjoy thrillers and mystery's!

The second K-movie that I watched and liked in 2020 after The man standing next. Well, I really liked this noir thriller. Especially, the way plot is written. It stands away from the conventional way of scripting where the viewers doesn't even get a clue how this is gonna end up. To remind you, as always , this is not everyones cup of tea. I won't say that this is a cult one either but it a watchable flick and defensively in my top 50 kmovies. There isn't a lot of violent graphic scenes but I would recommend the light hearted non violence chaps to skip this one. Overall, I would give an 8 cause anything less would be a bit unfair.
