Coining the new term 'action noir' in Korea, director Kim
Ji-woon follows up his extraordinary features A Quiet Family and
A Tale Of Two Sisters with this blackly comic thriller.
Lee Byeong-heon stars as Sun-woo, a unique character with a curious lifestyle;
he's not only a valued gang member and the proprietor of a hotel bar but also
the right-hand man to the powerful gang leader, Mr. Kang (Kim Yeong-chul). When
Kang suspects that his beautiful young mistress Hee-soo (Shin Min-ah) might be
messing around with another man, he enlists Sun-woo's help to resolve the
matter, commanding him to follow her around to see what information he can dig
up. Sun-woo's orders are explicit: if he catches Hee-soo cheating, he is to
execute her. However, when Sun-woo spies Hee-soo with her boyfriend, he makes a
fateful decision, one that will have major consequences for all involved...
