A dark road, a cop, and a dead body: classic elements that set in motion this thrilling, flawlessly executed neo-noir.
A darkly humorous take on the “policier” genre, it follows homicide detective Ko Gun-soo on a disastrous day that starts with a hit-and-run on the way to his mother’s funeral. A blackmailing phone call and a pileup of calamities lead him spiraling downward, seemingly with no way out.
“An all-out, over-the-top bad cop vs. bad cop Korean thriller . . . the viewer won’t know what will pop up or come crashing down in the background.” – Film-Forward.com
Community partner: Korean-American Society of Houston (KASH).
