One of Korea's finest
No plot spoliers or detail here but I do thoroughly recommend you watch this. The sequel is also good but this is the daddy. A third in the series is on its way but as per usual, god knows how long we will have to wait for it at a fair price. Detective Kang or Kang division/prefecture? is a great character and his little speech that he recites to bad guys would be a great first sentence or two to learn in Korean - though possibly a hazardous one.

Was I Watching the Same Movie as the Others?
My excursion into watching foreign films was prompted by my havins seen " The Lives of Others" and "As It is in Heaven." br /I have a deep seated suspicion of anything that is marketed as an "Arthouse Movie" but was so blown away by the other two that I thought that I must be missing wonderful films that don't recieve much exposure only because they have subtitles.The solution to the problem, it seemed to me, was to look at what the Amazon customers thought. br /Now look around this page and see all the Five Star ratings.Four reviewers and five stars from each one. Clearly they had all been captivated...hmmm br / br /It is not that I can't abide violence - watching Scarface set to with a chainsaw was necessary for that movie. br / br /But, violence isn't funny - or at least it has ceased to amuse me.As a kid, watching the Three Stoogers or Laurel and Hardy kick , slap and punch each other seemed hilarious at the time. That sort of humour is either dated or infantile.Lets at least say that it has been done befoe. br / br /There is nothing to recomend this movie. br /

Superb Thriller/Comedy
This is one of my favourite asian films ever. Up ther with Oldboy and A Bittersweet life, which I also highly recommend. br / br /It is about a cop who is after a serial killer. The cop is superbly funny in some parts and very brutal in other parts. br / br /This film has many funny moments whilst it still has some very tense moments aswell. This is film is one of the best thrillers in recent years! Buy it now.

top class entertainment
This film presents us with one of the most entertaining characters I have ever encountered in film (what a performance). Detective Kang meets every situation with violence (generally comic), I have never seen such a temper on an individual. Like the three stooges with a machete he rampages around Seoul up to all sorts of dodgy deeds (and he is a policeman) eventually redeeming himself and becoming a good citizen and cop, well, a bit better. Theres so much more to this movie, social and political statements hidden in the plot but firstly just watch it as pure entertainment, leave anything else for the second third or fourth viewing.

Brillant
Truley amaing movie, not too much violence lots of hiting and slaping people with books though which is rather funny. Funny, witty, bloody, and cool. Great movie for any guy, now one of my favorite movies.
