My reaction to this movie can only be described in a series of creative expletives. But since I have to keep this PG I'll try to explain what I just experienced. For one, this is one of those films that stay with you and make you question your own belief system. Don't get me wrong, it's a gangster story my favorite genre but if you go in expecting your run of the mill clichés, this is not the movie for you. If on the other hand, you're prepared to go on a journey that will make your soul ache and make you question everything, then this film will be the perfect experience. You know, Kim Woo Bin is an amazing actor but if you see him in this you'll just never see him the same way. Like I was in AWE of him consistently and not only because he's Kim Jaewook level good looking but also because he completely immerses himself in every role. Everything about this movie will play with your heart. That dynamic with the older man who practically saved him in prison and that scene where he gets drunk and confesses his true feelings about why he followed the guy and never retaliated in prison, just wow, it's EPIC. And so is the ending, that's the only way I can describe it. Thought provoking and intense.
