The movie in 3 sentences
This is an epic gangster film from Korea that I wanted to introduce to A. Undercover cop, Ja-seong (played by Lee Jeong-jae), leads a dual life. He has his job as a policeman, and the role of a gangster in a large crime syndicate. When the chairman dies, the police try to manipulate the succession battle from the outside while he is trapped between loyalty to the force and loyalty to the gangsters who trust him.
Some of the conversations in 'New World' were gripping, and the portrayal of violent acts was just spectacular. I wish A could understand the nuances because that’s what made the movie even better..
