Title : The City of Violence
Director : Ryu Seung-Wan (Die Bad, No Blood No Tears, Arahan, Crying Fist)
Cast : Jeong Du-Hong (Natural City / Arahan / Fighter in the Wind), Ryu Seung-Wan himself
Country : Korea
Year : 2006

I haven't seen a synopsis yet, but the trailer makes this movie look really cool.

I've been looking forward to this for some time. Ryu always manages to disappoint me, but this does look seriously awesome.

BEST FILM EVER

I am waiting for this son of a bitch to come out and be as good as it looks. At last they have given Jeong Du-Hong a star role 8) about sodding time!

Hmmm... looks a bit too glossy, slick, and over the top. Looks more like a light action movie instead of a gritty action-thriller.
It's too colorfull and the baddies are dressed bad (unrealistic).

To me it looks like a bad comedy.

I imagine it'll be like Arahan - good action that's slightly cheesy and comedy that slightly misses the mark. I am looking forward to this though.. Jeong Du-hong (co-star) is basically the leading action choreographer in Korea currently (doing films like Musa and Taegukgi) so expect awesome fights in this.

I'm also looking forward to Ryu's next film Yacha which is going to be a martial arts zombie flick! :chain:

And I thought this problem waste looked bad on the UK dvd... but if the beaver caps are correct, DD presents the movie even uglier.

I believe that Hung is talking about the quality of the print used for the DVD transfer, not the film itself.

I thought it was just mediocre. Nothing special.
