Program Note
Detective Go Geon-su (Lee Sun-kyun) of the violent crimes unit truly goes all the way. On the day of his mother’s funeral, he hits someone in a traffic accident and covers it up, only to be embroiled in further criminal activities after receiving threats from a witness. Lee Sun-kyun perfectly dominates the film from start to finish as the lead responsible for this entire pandemonium. The actor brilliantly portrays Geon-su, who is visibly anxious, uneasy, and flustered, yet becomes irritable and snappy when cornered - a typical fighting cock who never loses his nerve even in front of the relentlessly aggressive Park Chang-min (Jo Jin-woong). Lee’s energy and way of speaking match perfectly with the character. And it’s not just his one-man show. The acting ensemble in the intense chase and fight scenes, where bodies clash against each other, is also perfectly synchronized in breath and rhythm. (JEONG Jihye)
