Fairly standard but it's watchable if you have the patience.

I think movies that make a hit in Korea deals with humanity and Korean psych while dealing with Korean culture. To show that there is some glimpse of hope that the bad guys even corrupt people with power can be taken down. While showing empathy towards other working class citizens that are working hard to survive in the competitive market and provide for their families. And for the most part this movie delves into those elements. I personally didn't think it was a great film, but with a bit of patience it's actually quite watchable. So the plot is about a violent prosecutor that hate criminals and use aggressive tactics to get information out of suspects without knowing the circumstances all that clearly. However when he gets framed and thrown into prison with inmates that he put into prison. He starts to learn survival tactics, using resources and empathy. And also gets in contact with a womanizing conman that is very crafty when it comes to manipulation. This movie had it's moments, but it's a very traditional and standard Korean film that is easily forgettable. There just wasn't enough in here for it to make it stand out from the rest. Everything in here is quite predictable and straight by the numbers. Overall, it does have few moments but I wouldn't say it's a movie that has to be seen.
