New world(2013) : The Badass gangster movie

in #movie7 years ago (edited)

If you have a liking towards The Departed, The Godfather , Goodfellas then you're gonna love this

Just like any other gangster action movie , it has got cops , bad guys and a informant but what makes it more interesting is the Multi dimensional characters in this movie

Where we have a cop(choi min suk) who seems more evilish than the bad guys
An informant(lee jung sae) whose loyalty is being tested rigorously from time to time from the both (cop and the mafia side)
and a bad guy(Hwang jang min) who is more likable character than all but also one scary guy
Plus a great cinematography, haunting background music combined with a good story will hook you up for entire movie.

story

It begins with the a torture scene, indicating that in their world,there is no place for the traitors,a zero tolerance.
Which is conducted by our lead character played by lee jung sae, ironically who happens to be a cop informant. Apparently he is at his peek , seeking the way out of this mess world but got stuck by his loyalty towards his duty, which keeps getting harder day by day and also he forms friendship with the gang's boss played by hwang jang min.
Now their friendship is dynamic,its more of like a brotherhood and this friendship is well conveyed, which all makes him hard to perform his duty. Kind of adds guilt feeling in him

Situation gets worse, when their syndicate leader dies and makes a vacant position for the big role .Thats when the dirty politics games starts, which includes the opposite gang member who is pure villain and will do anything to get into the powerful position. Which all leads to cold gang war between them.
Seeing this circumstance the cops makes their move too by manipulating the circumstances.Which all serves as advantage to the cops

Witnessing these circumstances and manipulation involving cops, our leads starts to question his loyalty and freedom about his future because both cops and mafia ones seems to be heartless. In either way he is sure to bound to get executed.
What happens next makes its more interesting to watch due to some plot twists, which will keep you edge of the seat till the end.

Last half an hour of this movie is epic, it has a brilliantly choreographed fight scene with the knives, especially in the lift and ending scene which all gives the audience satisfactory feelings after the sad and violent part.
