    Dirty prosecutors in Korean politics

    An over the top theatrical satire about corrupt prosecutors is done in an entertaining enough manner. This is a good movie to see if you have seen the Attorney for what happened to President Roh. Jo In Sung plays the prosecutor well. For those who have seen his previous melodrama he acts the conflicted person well. The big bad guy is played by Jung Woo Sung and he looks quite convincing as a disguised thug in a nice suit. It's a fun ride to see the rise and fall and justice.
