I would say “Night in Paradise” is quite de misleading title 4 dis film...Wid its Jeju location & an intriguing female & male protagonist, this film adds new dimensions 2 de storied tradition of K-gangster films. 4 all de talking of this film, der isn't a single original line of dialogue. Or a unique mob character. Or a new way of doing a bloody hit scene.

In some sense, I can understand this movie as a return 2 roots & a celebration of noir basics. But 2 many influences seem 2 b fighting 4 de same space these days. De 140-minrunning time isn't earned, wid de “slow-burning” atmospherics largely featuring de mourning man & orphaned girl who meet on de island 4 no reason other dan 2 lend meaning 2 de bodies dat will soon b tortured. De cliche of unlikely love blossoming btw 2 broken souls in an existential setting is so old dat it could pass off as a member of the British Royal Family.

// VERDICT // Der is no “paradise” in this movie, & u can bet der won’t b any 1 awaiting 4 the slaughtered wen all de scores r settled, every1 has gotten wat dey hve coming 2 dem.
