I am european and not familiar with asian cultures...which means i probably lost a lot of the humor and details, but i ve always been fond of these kind of movies.
The actors succeed in standing out and building report with the viewer. The plotline is nothing new butt the setting and unfolding is well done and the two hours passed by as if it was a blink of the eye. I hope to see something new from this director and lead-actor soon.
Newb Korean filmmaker Yoon-Seong Kang's writing and directing is worthy enough to embarrass some seasoned Hollywood filmmakers flops I've seen lately. Based on true events, this is the first film in the Crime City series franchise starring the amazing Don Lee. The drama, comedy and action was all top-notch. This is how a blockbuster action comedy is made. All casting and performances were outstanding. The 121 min runtime didn't feel as long with the decent pacing and excellent story-telling. It's a near perfect film. The second installment The Roundup is even better and a perfect film in every aspect. I can't wait for the third film The Roundup: No Way Out. Yoon-Seong Kang should be very proud of his first ever dabble into filmmaking. It's a well deserving 9/10 from me.
The story is built around the sturdy main character accompanied by graphic violence and dry wit. Based on a true event, the film is action-packed but never over-the-top. The final showdown is one of the most enjoyable come-uppances I have seen. I don't know why, but it was very satisfying.
This is a well-made, tight Korean cop thriller that I would definitely recommend.

Yoon-sung Kang the master of tone strikes a beautifully haunting picture of paranoia and a horrifying portrait of delicate social commentary in The Outlaws. Ever so charismatic and charming with a stunning screenplay and outstanding performances from the entire cast. Yoon-sung's film is ever so relevant. It subconsciously strikes questionable fear into the void, beautifully executed with a dabble of stinging thriller.
