The Unjust

A truly original and refreshingly honest depiction of the complex and tragically flawed individuals who are tasked with navigating the inherently inefficient and sometimes blatantly corrupt criminal justice system in Korea. Deftly blurring the moral and psychological distinction between the "good and bad guys", so we get such a deeply nuanced and often frustratingly human anti-hero this exceptional film consistently and defiantly refuses to resort to typical one-dimensional reductive cops and robbers cliches in both its structuring, and even more impressively with its exhilaratingly executed character development. If you're looking for a mindless, soulless action film you best search elsewhere.
