Eye for an Eye - Korean crime thriller movie DVD Kwak Kyung Taek 4 stars

Attracting over a million moviegoers in its opening week; cat-and-mouse crime thriller Eye for an Eye boasts a dream pairing both in front of and behind the camera. Renowned director Kwak Kyung Taek (Friend; Typhoon) and Ahn Kwon Tae - Kwak's assistant director on Friend who went on to direct My Brother - share writing and directing credits; while top stars Cha Seung Won (Murder Take One) and Han Suk Kyu (Shiri) face off onscreen in a thrilling battle of brawn and wit. Weaving from the underbelly of Busan to the corporate district of Seoul; Eye for an Eye takes it characters and the audience on a roller coaster ride of gripping car chases; daring heists; and unexpected plot twists; all underlined by the acting tour de force of Cha Seung Won and Han Suk Kyu. Fierce; suave; and foul-mouthed; top detective Baek (Han Suk Kyu) is about to leave the force to start his own business; but his plans are rudely interrupted when two large cases land on his desk. First; an armored truck is robbed in broad daylight. Then someone impersonates Baek and steals trafficked gold from the airport right under the police’s noses. As a final slight; the perpetrator; Ahn (Cha Seung Won); sends a package of cash to Baek the next day. Completely outraged; Baek pursues his target with the determination of a madman; but Ahn is one step ahead at every turn; deliberately leaving traces behind to taunt the police. Baek soon realizes that Ahn’s clues are leading him to an even greater enemy. 101 min.
