A Variation on Gangster Movies I've Seen Before

I know this is a sub-genre that some people love and they would split hairs, calling me a killjoy, but to me this is like...Layer Cake? 8 Heads in a Duffle Bag? There are also some South Korean films from about twenty years ago with similar themes, though admittedly the script is original in its character development and fine details. I don't know how people survived all of those head injuries, especially the old grandma. It's a dark comedy, not meant to be realistic, and apparently based upon a novel. The main protagonist any normal person would root for is a clerk at a jjimjilbang, a real working class victim of the system, so I can gladly put this well-written film into the cannon of SK flicks that defend the downtrodden poor.

Clever show. Concentrate for the first half things come together!

A bag of money is the center of this crime story. Concentrate on the different characters at first, even if you don't get the connection. It will come together later. And everything does come together in a clever way. There is violence but not as bad as Quentin or Coen Bros. Jung Woo Sung is the big star here and he is good. But it is an ensemble cast the pulls this crime story with a hint of dark comedy together.
