This movie is pretty decent and fun enough to watch, moving at a quick pace with good action scenes. The lead role is played by a rather beefy Korean detective who pretty much behaves like a meat head throughout the movie. It's unlike the Korean movie 'A Hard Day" in which the both the good guy and bad guy pit their wits and intelligence against each other. The plot pretty much relies on the beefy lead detective's strength to solve everything. His approach seems to be basically to go around beating people up. The lead bad guy and his goons, Chinese Koreans, are sinister and quite enjoyable to watch. However, you can't compare the movie, the acting or the plot to to the 'Yellow Sea', which also focused on Chinese ethnic Korean gangsters (and is a superior movie). In parts, it seems quite racist towards Chinese ethnic Koreans. Overall, it was fun. However, at times I couldn't help hoping that the sinister lead bad guy would win, despite him being so evil.
