"Criminal City" | Box office inflated? Really simple and rude police and gangster violence film

The gangster crime movie "Criminal City", which was released in South Korea in October this year, is restricted to those over 19 years old due to its bloody and violent scenes. 16 days after its release, the number of viewers exceeded 4 million, and as of this morning, the record has reached 6.83 million+.
After watching the entire film, it failed to meet expectations. In addition to the outstanding performance of the actors, it is a simple and rude film of police and gangster violence, and the content of the story falls into a cliché.




The local gangs in South Korea and the Korean gangs in South Korea and China are in different circles. Although there is friction, it can be regarded as peaceful coexistence. Suddenly one day, a group of new faces devoured the original gang one after another with extremely brutal means, breaking the balance. The setting of this group of new faces is that they are also Koreans from Harbin, China, who fled to South Korea after committing crimes in China.
The end credits show that it is adapted from a real event in 2004, which makes me very embarrassed. If I want to complain about Han Ying and black my Korean compatriots, I get stuck in my mouth (Pan Shou).


Uncle Ma Dongxi officially opened the tough guy line after "Train to Busan", and played the policeman who governs the gangland area in this film. You are strong and vigorous, and if you can't stand up with a slap, the gang leader will call him big brother. Such a tough guy really needs to have a tender side in order to poke the audience's cuteness, and his elbow is bruised because he has too many muscles, so he can't see where the injury is.

This character is wonderful between a good cop who stands on the bright side and a bad cop who is insidious and greedy. If you say he is a good person, he also silently accepts the hospitality of the gang; if he says he is a bad person, he will be ruthless in arresting people. Although the story is average, the actor also wants to give praise.


Yin Jishang, who was born in idol, plays Zhang Qian, a gangster in Harbin. Suspicious and ruthless, this role is qualified as a transformation.

The phrase "Do you know who I am? I'm Zhang Qiandan in Harbin!" Maybe the Korean audience couldn't get it, and I heard the movie burst into laughter in an instant, kkkkk and the sb, cnm that the Chinese scolded in the film, and the country scolded Going abroad?


The selection of supporting actors in Korean film and television dramas is also very rigorous. The supporting actors in this film are very eye-catching. The gang leaders played by Zhao Zaiyun, Park Zhihuan, Xu Chengtai, etc., as well as the surprise cameo of Uncle Zhao Zhenxiong, are in the overall perception and completion of the film. They worked well.




"Criminal City" is considered moderate in this year's Korean movies. The laughs and ignition points are appropriate. You can watch it after a casual meal~ (Violent movies are really good for dinner..) Also, why didn't Zhang Qian in Harbin wear a mink? Disappointed.
