High quality mixture of crime thriller with film noir done absolutely right. The plot about a cop and a gangster teaming up to catch a serial killer while each of the two has his own agenda is effective enough. Especially liked how the stylized visuals worked in this film.

God but I love the way South Korean cinema takes genre films and gives them a stylish makeover. In the case of 악인전 / _The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil_, a noir film becomes colourful with neon yellow, midnight blue and blood blood red. A good story, a lot of action, and the obligatory twist... These are 2 hours you'll spend and get your money's worth.

A policeman and a mobster collaborate to capture a serial killer. A horrible title for a rather mediocre film, whose banality is accentuated by an unbearably childish protagonist. Not worth anyone’s time.

Just imagine: a cop teaming up with a gang leader to hunt down a serial killer. The film follows the story of an unexpected alliance between a police officer and a gang boss who must work together to stop a dangerous serial killer. After the gang leader survives an attack by the killer, he decides to cooperate with the officer to bring the criminal to justice. A tense triangle forms between the three, and the unlikely duo must overcome intense obstacles and moral conflicts to restore order and stop the chaos. The movie stands out with its thrilling storyline, strong performances, and exciting action scenes—making it one of those must-watch crime thrillers. Its portrayal of the tension and collaboration between gangs and law enforcement adds depth and intensity to the plot. Age Rating: 18+ Film Rating: 7/10
