The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil (2019)

[Drunk Monk]

Another engaging K-actioner. Another upstart cop doggedly pursues a serial killer despite everyone denying it. Stealing the show is Ma Dong-seok (who has recently taken the more western digestible name of Don Lee) as a gangster leader who gets attacked by the serial killer and then teams up with the young cop. Ma is a big thikk solid dude and carries that weight as authentic gravitas. He’s one to watch. Again the cinematography and neon & cigarettes style are well crafted. There’s some humor in the whiny complaints like so many K-flix, and exquisitely choreographed ultravi.
