The Life of a Mobster

I went into this movie completely blind, it came up on my feed on Netflix, and I thought I would give it a try, and boy, was I hooked. It's a movie with the least amount of dialogue between the male and female leads, Park Tae Goo and Jae Yun, but their body language was more than enough to captivate me. I think the one line in the movie that best described it to me was when Jae Yun told Park Tae Goo he was a dead man walking because, in a way, everybody in the movie was a dead man walking. To me, it encapsulated the sheer hopelessness and cutthroat underworld life of a gangster— a hard and high-stakes world fueled by fear, the survival of the fittest, strongest, and the fastest to betray or be betrayed, and, of course, mass murder. But when one has lost everything that ever meant anything to them, and there's nothing left for them to lose; what could they possibly be afraid of; absolutely nothing. I will admit I am not familiar with Uhm Tae Goo at all, this is my first anything for him, and I was blown away with him. And the same goes with Jeon Yeo Bin (she was brilliant), Cha Seung Won, Lee Gi Young, and Park Ho San. I loved the movie's slow pace, the unlikely connection of two lost souls with nothing left to lose, and most importantly, the banging end -- well done!
