#Gangster Cop

a short placing heavy emphasis on Hungarian Rhapsody No. II is a rite of passage for golden age cartoons. Bugs Bunny did it! Tom and Jerry did it! Daffy and Donald! but one thing Woody Woodpecker has above the competition is that he is held hostage by a group of gangsters and is forced to entertain, lest he get executed. amazing

Sweet baby yongdae is the only one who could’ve figured out by now that junmo is a cop purely by accident but this man sees junmo or a pretty lady and his brain completely resets

The Gangster The Cop The Devil is a film that in no way needed to go so hard, and yet it did. You may think this is an overexaggeration on my part, but while watching this my friends and I very much did start a counter for how many sick moments different characters had.

The film's premise basically revolves around the question "What if the opposing factions from the Departed teamed up to hunt down the bad guy from Death Note," which is to say the movie is a Korean film about a Mobster and a Cop hunting down a serial killer with Daddy issues.

Great premise, pulpy title, solid cast. Nobody was asking for anything more from this movie and yet it gives its all. Cinematically basically every single shot in this film was drop dead gorgeous for absolutely no reason other than love of the game. The tone of this film isn't trying to do anything special, and yet it's got 3 standout transitions in the first 20 minutes of the film alone.

There is a lot of great Korean film out there, but if the dense canon overwhelms you to the point that you're googling "at what point do I watch Oldboy?" The Gangster The Cop The Devil is a great place to jump in, with a low barrier of entry and a high level of quality.

Hear me out...

Which ship did you think of just now? 😏

Evidence? I’ll show you evidence. That night, he forced me out of my car by crashing into it. Then he stabbed me twice in my side. During the struggle, he stabbed me in the chest. I also cut my fingers trying to grab his knife. See? If I were the average man, I’d be dead too. You should have him take his clothes off too. I stabbed his left chest, so there will be a wound.

Finished The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil. Its very slick and that's about it. Still, I watched for MaDong Seok, and he definitely was enjoyable it. I will never be tired of the man bulldozing everyone in his way and just swinging and sending people flying. Its even more satisfying when he does it to people who are annoying as heck (the cop in the movie title for example).

Plot-wise, its very basic. I think the writer was like, look, if I have three gents who are all different kinds of nuts and intense (but one was just intensely annoying), people are gonna watch. And I think he's right for the most part lol.

All the same, I certainly enjoyed the scenes where each time the cop is like blah blah gangsters, committing crime is a crime etc etc - the gangster in question is like cops aint shit, you are just gangsters with a badge (this is an appromixation of my mine). In fact, so many similarities with between the organizations of crime and law. The biggest of course being the amount of testosterone and dick-jerking.

But yeah, there were a few scenes in particular that I enjoyed. One was the gangster's interaction with the school kid. Of course then poor thing was erased from the earth only, but still, that was a nice one. The other one was the closing scene, Ma Dong Seok walking into the prison and Kim Sung Kyu silently shitting his pants. Bear in mind, the gangster is in handcuffs at this point and is restrained. But the imagery it evoked - especially when Ma Dong Seok smiles and makes eye contact, it was like a beast spotting its prey and honing in, knowing it has every chance of decimating that prey.

6/10.
