살인의뢰

Last Saturday we went to the Seoul/Stockholm film festival.
We saw two movies, first this one called The Deal. A typical Korean crime movie.
I think some parts would be difficult to understand unless you are Korean. Also the English subtitle was really bad. I stopped reading it because it made the whole movie messed up. I feel sad for all the ones who didn't speak Korean.
In all, an ok korean movie. Still not sure how it could top the box office!?

Story
Veteran detective Tae-soo figures out that the suspect in a hit-and-run case, Gang-chun, is a serial killer wanted for several murders. But not long after his victory, Tae-soo realizes that his younger sister Soo-kyung was Gang-chun's last victim. Gang-chun receives the death penalty, but refuses to reveal the whereabouts of the victims' bodies, leaving Tae-soo and his brother-in-law Seung-hyun devastated. Three years later, Tae-soo is investigating the murder of a gangster boss when to his surprise, he finds evidence that Seung-hyun is the prime suspect. As he digs deeper, Tae-soo learns that the gang's former boss is now in the same prison as Gang-chun, who is thriving and looking better than ever (South Korea hasn't carried out a single execution since 1997).
