Post Movie Review
my personal viewpoint after watching this film

First of all, the one reason to watch this film is the cast. The star studded cast is the reason why i decided to watch this show. Haha..

Song Seung Heon is the very well known korean actor who gained fame frm his 2000 drama, 秋天的童话, tghter with Song Hye Gyo. Anyway, he, tgher with Kwon Sang Woo (Stairway to Heaven) put on a very fine performance in this film.

Unlike his previous shows, Kwon portrays a friend and boss you would never want, but a caring brother who you would definitely want. Though his character is a tough headed, arrogant and unloyal lad, he is still a brother who take cares of his sister's well-being.

Song on the other hand, portrays a very caring friend who cares for his drug-addicted mate (Kim), but a son who cannot express his feelings to his mother well.

Those two actors did extremely well tgher, and truly showed their acting capabilities in the most positive manner as possible. ( Although both Song and Kwon utter a lot of rude words during the show )

Also, the usually nerdy (or maybe simple) looking Kim In Kwon turned 180 degrees and became a punk-looking gangster with those dreaded hair (though he cut it during the show).

And of course, my all-time favourite Park Han Byul (Couple or Trouble 梦幻青绿; Freeze). This film has successfully become a platform for her to showcast her versatility in character playing. In her previous films, such as ''Couple or Trouble'', her roles had been those ''young-girl'' ones. However in this film, she has ''grown'' to be a mature lady, and her performance isn't bad at all, though she has little screen time as compared to the previous 3 actors.

Although she has lost her cuteness somehow in this film, her prettiness and charm are retained, added by a spark or maturity.

Being my favourite actress, it's no doubt I think she did very well for her role. Hope to see her more this year, after missing for quite some time. =/

Ok, enough of the casts. Now the content.

Though full of violence and blood ( esp. kwon sang woo, with his violent character), this film isn't draggy, unlike most movies, and the progression throughout the film is fine, which means viewers shouldn't have any problem catching balls during the course of this show.

BUT. BUT, those who thinks violence and blood and a little expletives are too much for you, this is NOT a film for you. lol.

Rest assure the content is ''generally'' healthy, depending on your definition of ''healthy''.

Top: Song Seung Heon in action.

This film tells a story of a group of friends who went through thick and thin together. However, greed and selfishness stepped in and tore this group apart.
Although some of them reunited, they started turning against each other..

Twists after twists, fantastic buliding up, however wrapped up by a rather controversial ending ( some think it's necessary, with others think it's definitely not how they want it to turn out )

Morale of this story,
Sometimes, the person with least threat and the one being a neutral can turn out to be the demon of evil plans..

SYNOPSIS

In the dark criminal world of Seoul, Woo-min (Song Seung Heon), Cheol-jung (Kwon Sang Woo), Do Wan (Kim In-kwon) and Jeong Hak (Ji Sung) are close friends in a gang.

One day, with the help of an older member Gang-seop (Ahn Nae-seong), Woo min, Cheol-jung and Do-wan attack the gang's casino so they can start new lives. But their plan goes awry when Cheol-jung betrays them, and U-min goes to prison. He becomes the scapegoat to save his friends' lives.

After serving his time, U-min wants to stay out of trouble but is drawn back into the underworld when he sees what has become of his friends: money and power-hungry Cheol-jung continues to betray others as he climbs up the gang ladder; Do-wan is a drug user; Gang-seop is missing; and his girlfriend Eun-yeong (Park Han-byul) has left him to run a bar as the boss' mistress.

As U-min tries to solve the situation, however, unfortunate twists of fate set off one misunderstanding after another. To make matters worse, the mob boss and right-hand man Yoeng-hwan get them involved in a huge drug deal.

Once again thrown into a game with high stakes and big cash, the once best friends must fight one another for their lives.
