BLOODY TIE (2006) Blu-ray (Individually Numbered, only 700 made) with slipcase and postcards.
Set in the gritty, neon-soaked underworld of Busan, BLOODY TIE is a visceral neo-noir crime thriller that explores the murky boundaries between law and lawlessness. Directed by Choi Ho (THE UNJUST, NO BLOOD NO TEARS), this 2006 South Korean masterpiece centres on an uneasy, parasitic alliance between two desperate men.
Lieutenant Do (Hwang Jung-min) is a corrupt, hard-boiled narcotics detective consumed by a vendetta against a ruthless drug lord who murdered his partner. To secure his revenge, he manipulates Sang-do (Ryoo Seung-bum), a flamboyant, fast-talking crystal meth dealer who views his illicit trade as a legitimate business.
As the duo navigates a treacherous landscape of betrayal, addiction, and ultraviolence, their "bloody tie" becomes increasingly strained. BLOODY TIE eschews typical genre romanticism, delivering a raw, cynical portrayal of human greed and the moral decay inherent in the drug trade. Featuring powerhouse performances and a pulsating soundtrack, the film remains a definitive entry in contemporary Korean action cinema.
