“A police team cooperates with a gangster to catch demons? That sounds fun ... ”

The Korean horror film once again blurs the line between good and evil in the movie Boss Gang and Devil (The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil), so suddenly so attractive that Sylvester Stallone is very Want to buy the script to remake it.

Reviews on the Boss and The Devil (The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil)

Jang Dong-su - the boss of a gang in a small town a short drive from Seoul. One evening, he is the victim of an accident that the other man swung his knife, turned out to be an assassin who came to kill himself. Dong-su is lucky to escape his attacker but has to go to the hospital with many stabs. Detective Jung, who despises the criminal underworld when he hears about Dong-su's attack and seeks to work with his siblings to catch the murderer.

From the first few seconds, the film directed by Won-Tae Lee has a sepia tone. Director Lee's staging is not as complicated as we imagine. After walking through the dusty roads of Korea, Lee takes us to meet Gangster boss Jang Dong-su (Ma Dong-seok), a gangster who is assaulting a person to cough up blood.

Gangster, Cop, Devil follow the style of the game "cat and mouse" involving a typical ruthless gangster of Korea, typical Korean police image and a poison serial killer. evil, typically dubbed the "devil". Lee Won-tae mixes Korea's most famous clichés in recent years to create hilarious episodes.

The director made the character of all three main characters in the Cop and Devil almost similar. Whether it's a gangster, a police officer or a devil, they're all persistent, cunning and most importantly evil in different ways. Kim Mu-yeol, Ma Dong-seok, and Kim Sung-kyu in turn instill charismatic energy into each character, making it easy for the audience to connect with them.

Kim Sung-kyu's killer character is often portrayed with a sinister one-dimensional frame, but this is an exaggeration because in the movies you will find it is not so sharp; However, the Cops and Demons make up for the character gap by telling quick stories and action sequences in addition to familiar humor.

One of the bright points is that director Lee doesn't describe too much about a character but rather encapsulates the characteristics of each criminal to give a general perspective on the Asian crime world. He is, for all intents and purposes, cardboard cutoffs covered with cheese. The blow to his support makes things more interesting when he seeks revenge indirectly. That payback comes from Jung Tae-suk (Kim Mu-Yoel), a tight-hearted detective looking for a serial killer (Kim Sung-kyu). Perhaps Jang's attacker is the man behind the growing murders? Well, of course.

Furthermore, the Cop and the Devil have quality action scenes. The fight scenes are very interesting, and it's fun to see Don Lee kick and punch into the opponent's hell. However, that is not all action, suspense and violence; The film has a few funny scenes scattered all over the place to give it a sense of humor.

Acting is nothing special. In fact, sometimes we still see a bit of stuffiness in the way the characters perform. Next movie especially found Kim Moo-Yeol's acting quite good. His acting in <Forgotten> is unbelievable, but in <The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil>, it is far superior. Don Lee also didn't show his best acting and the supporting actors, including Yoo Seung-Mok, Choi Min-Chul, Kim Yoon-Sung, Huh Dong-Won, etc., were also not impressed. In particular, the acting of the actor in the role of Devil (Kim Sung-Kyu) is quite cold. This is the only character that stands out in terms of acting performance.

As mentioned earlier, the Cop and Devil are based on real events. However, the story itself is not very good. Perhaps the production has added other interesting details to make the story more lively and interesting, but sometimes it's a bit off-topic. Some scenes that require emotions are exaggerated, and too unrealistic. It felt like they were trying too hard to be cool, which backfired
