A fun ride, 24 April 2007

"City of violence" is an action movie! And when it comes to action movies the plot isn't that important! But I was surprised to see that, (although not very original) the plot was quite interesting! The actors also did a great job in carrying this plot! They were believable as childhood friends who reunite after the death of one them! Doo-hong Jung who has the lead as the friend who is a cop also is the martial arts director for this movie! And it shows! He choreographed some excellent fighting scenes! Especially at the ending you will be in for a treat! One of the highlights of the movie is one big action scene in the middle of the city where Doo-hong Jung has to fight several gangs of kids on his own! He does gets assistance of a friend,Seung-beom Ryu (Arahan)! When these two get together the fun really begins! I don't know if it was meant as a parody or tribute to "The Warriors",but it was sure a spectacular sight to see the Korean hoodlums dressed as the gangs from that movie! The good mix of comedy,drama and action makes this a movie that has to be seen!
