I was frightened by the dull five minutes at the beginning of the film many times, but this time I finally held back and watched it.
In the film, Lee Byung-hun successfully played a "political hooligan" who had one hand removed.
An, played by Lee Byung Hun, established himself by assisting political presidential candidates in the campaign and gradually developed into a small and large-scale gangster organization.
For the greater good, he secretly intercepted the black money transaction documents between the presidential candidate and the chaebol, betrayed it by his only trusted friend (the editor-in-chief of National Daily), and finally was ruthlessly abandoned by those in power. A "crippled man".
For the next two years, An, who was wearing a prosthetic arm, handed towels to people in the men's bathroom at the bar to steal money. This scene is funny and sad.
In the film, Ann has two scenes of eating. It's exactly what An's supposed to eat.
Once, Tiantai ate ramen with the gang brothers (third-in-hand), and it was very neat to roll up the ramen with one hand.
Once, on the tatami in the prosecutor's hometown, he and the prosecutor ate barbecue with green pepper dipping sauce.
Eating together is a different feeling. I think the director wanted to say that.
The gang brothers were finally exposed and brutally beaten.
Ann decided to join forces with the prosecutor. The gangster's methods combined with the justice of the prosecutor, and finally successfully exposed the ugly face of the collusion between the political world and the chaebol.
In the past, I always didn't understand why Hong Kong movies always had broken fingers, why it was so bloody.
From Lee Byung Hun, I understand that a perfect person can only give people a strong impact and have a strong emotional resonance only when they are completely broken.
