New World (2013) Korean :-
Waah..what a gansta movie i watched. For sure this movie proves Koreans are best at their work, They way thes guys pull out such a stylish gangsta flick is just mind blowing. Hoon-jung Park did a perfect job in this movie and its not easy to pull a 134min movie so interesting keeping our watch at bay. The story is simple deals with how a snitch intrudes into a mighty King empire " Goldmoon" , a one way ticket and how he rises up from a slag to throne was nicely scripted to perfection. This is not a all in all out action flick but a read good slow steady crime drama with many characters blended perfectly in.
And for sure you may not wanna miss " I saw the Devil" movie fame Min-sik as Chief Kang , whose role is a Insider and a game player Cop who plans to bring down the entire empire. But the real show stealer is Jung-Jae Lee with his Brilliant acting as a Spy and how he rises to the position or must say forced to take a side was wonderfully pictured. Hats of to the screenplay being a lengthy movie , how the tensions build up on the script and the way slowly this movie turns out to a revenge subject was just cool.
None would have expected why Jeong-min Hwang ( Jeong Cheong ) spared life of Jung-Lee until last few movies of the movie and how Jung tears down when Jeong at hospital or when Jeong sees the Rolex watch as gift for him is so touchy. Background was soothing and damn cool. But the high point is last 15 min with a perfect twist at the end is just awesome.Be it action , romance , music this movie has it all and for sure this adds up to my favorite list and as one of finest crime drama i seen recent times.
Verdict : New World is sure a New Era of Stylish Gangsters with Suits and Boots. Korean makers are masters of it. DONT MISS IT.
