Absorbing - New World review by sb

Spoiler Alert
09/07/2022

Hoon-Jung's Korean gangster epic has all mobster activity run by the Goldmoon Coperation who may all wear sharp suits and have gleaming offices but are still a bunch of hoodlums.

The Head is killed in a traffic accident (which may or may not be a hit) so the ground is set for a succession battle between cold remote Joong (Sung-Woon) and his flamboyant Chinese rival Jung (Jung-Min).

To complicate matters Jung's right hand man is Lee (Jung-Jae) who is an undercover cop working for Chief Kang (Moon-Sik) who sees the coming struggle as an oppertunity to influence the future of the Corperation.

Using Lee as his inside man he plays the rivals off each other in an increasingly complex game of chess.

You really need your wits about you to follow the labyrinthian plot as everyone plots against everyone else. It quite slowly paced interspersed with some ferocious violence and as the parts begin to fall into place its takes on a Godfather level with Lee channeling his inner Michael.

Excellent cast with Moon-Sik turning in yet another terrific performance and at 134 minutes well worth your time - 4/5
