Must-see Korean Noir

A hit man himself becomes the target after not following his boss’ orders, having developed an affection for his boss’ girlfriend who he is supposed to eliminate after she has an affair. An excellent film with great cinematography, acting and a superb sense for creating mood both through visuals and sound. While ultra violent at times it has a solid story for a noir. It does not show its age at all, you could think it was done in the last 5 years or so. Very much recommended (but keep in mind the violence - it does deserve the 18 rating and isn’t one for kids). The 4K BluRay is amazing and has various extras.
