funny that i finished this only for Woo Do Hwan LOL (started this before and didn't finish) and he only had very few scenes in the entire movie before he was shot dead LOL WTF. like i don't understand what the director was thinking when he gave us glimpses of this hottie rookie, and only placed him in the movie as nothing more but left-wing bodyguard. he should have been the villain's main bodyguard for goodness sake!

in terms of the story, wow this has got to be one of the messiest execution I have come across in a movie. it feels like some of the scenarios that are actually important to appreciate the investigation properly are only glossed over, and they expect us to understand what's happening with very little cues. bear in mind this is not an easy subject to follow since the story deals with expert money launderers. by that I didn't mean I wanted the movie to be longer, in fact the movie would have benefited from a simpler but more concise execution especially in the first half.

the part when the villain was finally captured actually felt a little flat, as in he naturally surrendered to the police when cornered from all sides, and did not resist at all (i find that weird, since we've had the impression all the while that he's so badass). the part where Jang Goon transferred all the recovered laundered money to all the victims feels very comical too, since this is not a Batman story saving the people of Gotham, so it would have been nice to have a more realistic ending IMO.
