- Incredible NON STOP fighting action in this extraordinary Korean gangster
movie! Legendary director Im Gweon-taek (with more than 100 movies, in
40 years, to his credit) has delivered his masterpiece. Similar to THE
GODFATHER, here is an action-packed story of a gangster family during
the 1960s. It's told from the perspective of Tae-Woong (Cho Seung-Woo),
a lawyer who gets involved with the Dongdaemoon Gang guiding them through
the Korean blacsk market, into the motion picture business and, then later,
into "legitimate" business ventures. This movie won top honors
at the Venice Film Festival and has been praised for its exceptional symmetry
of music and cinematography. Perhaps, there is no better movie capable
of delivering such a Korean timecapsule. What an experience!
