A good & a pulpy crime thriller from Korea of well-worn plot tropes and slick production values.
Supposedly, this was inspired by real events from a decade ago, but, while the 2005 setting is mentioned, it’s barely relevant.

The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil is sure fire hit for fans of this genre. The film doesn't dig too deep, but works because it doesn't get lost in the some of the deeper trappings of the genre.
Yes, it's car crashes and fight sequences and dry jokes, but it's a mix that will make you wow, wince and guffaw in just the right amounts, all carried off with a gritty style.

VERDICT _ A solid, if not quite exceptional, time-passer.
