City of Violence (2008)

7008DVD

Smash Hit from the director of CRYING FIST

director: Ryu Seung-Wan
starring: Lee Beom-Su · Ryu Seung-Wan · Ahn Jae-Mo · Jeung Seok

Many critics are calling director Ryu "the Best Filmmaker of the New Millennium." If his previous films (namely CRYING FIST, ARAHAN and NO BLOOD NO TEARS) showed a trend towards greatness, this 2008 blockbuster is the exclamation point. It's a terrific action-packed crime thriller about a Seoul detective who returns to his hometown for the funeral of a childhood friend and ends up sticking around to investigate the murder.

A Korean Import; widescreen (1.85:1), uncut (92 min.) version in DVD encoded for ALL REGION NTSC, playable on any American DVD machine; in Korean language with removable English or Korean subtitles.
