Detectives Oh Yeong-dal (the veteran) and Bang Je-su (the rookie) are partners who don't see eye to eye. But when a string of brutal serial killings occur, they have to put their differences aside to catch the most ruthless killers they'll ever meet!

This movie was really good. I was suprised that it has some comedic factors to it too. The synopsis and movie poster don't give that impression whatsoever.

A great action film but terribly sad. Sad, per se, that it was about brutal killings of innocent victims over money. It wasn't about vendettas or redemption or even revenge. Just some kids who thought it would be easier to kill the victims than harass them over the money.

The first victim, which was even sadder, was a mother who just happened to withdraw some money out of the ATM and was on her way home. She left two small children behind because the 4 young men wanted her money. From that point on, they progress to killing others for money. No remorse from them either. That was the saddest part.

I loved the feel of the movie. It wasn't boring and the comedic comraderie from the two friends/policemen seems genuine then add in the idiotic funniness of a crime boss and you'll be smiling just when you need it when the drama gets too intense. Smart stuff...totally satisfying movie.

Discovered a new cutie....he plays the leader of the 4 young men on the killing spree.

During the early 80’s in a small village in South Korea, Haejok, Pong-pal and Song-gi are three good friends trying to complete their studies, but not without regular trouble. On a casual day, Haejok runs into a mysterious young girl, which he immediately falls in love with. But his attempt at trying to talk to the girl fails miserably. Trying to deal with the case of that mysterious home town girl, Haejok and Song-gig notice that Pong-pal didn’t show up in school for the last few days. They will learn later that Pong-pal`s father had a terrible accident and he and his sister now have to work to pay the regular bills and also for the hospital fees.
But the worst is that the mysterious girl is in fact the sister of Pong-pal, she now has to work has a hostess in a popular disco bar owned by a powerful gangster and there is no way she can get away from that job. The only proposition that the boss is willing to accept is if Haejok can win the upcoming Disco contest, he will free Pong-pal`s sister from her work. Unfortunately for Haejok, he’s a really bad dancer and the contest is in a week away!

Hmm? How to describe it? Well, it started out rough. It wasn't really funny at first. It was quite boring. It took forever to get to the "real" story.

Ho hum. The only really, really good part out the whole thing was when we finally got to see Tae-jeok dance. Oh and what a body! *sizzlin'* I mean the dance wasn't even all that...it was pretty good but with that body of his...if the dance had been more elaborate....*sweatin'* just thinkin' 'bout it. Oy!!

This was one wild movie. What was really great about it? I had no clue that I was being played like a freakin' fiddle. The movie is not what you think you thought you saw. It's twisted! LOL! The end was not what I thought it would be. I'm still dumb-fuzzled. While watching this movie, don't fall into their "game" because I did and fell face first into total confusion. LOL! That is what is so great about it. It's nothing what you would expect. Man, I really liked this one!
