Featured review
The world of Asura is well explained, this is due to the groups and hierarchies that we see during the plot that is involved by the characters
-it's essential to a mafia movie, where the protagonist lives a constant duality that ends up making his morals take a back seat, sometimes focused on his feelings, but even with his experience he proves to be someone out of control and with ambition dependent on the course of his life, Han's complexion is complex and well developed we can be sure that jung woo sung has given himself 100% to the role with every one of his expressions/semblances/rises/ you see him making an effort at all times.
-prefect is ironic but a little predictable, the director gave the character this archetype to give us the feeling of being unpredictable but being able to know what he's up to in the future could have given a little more refinement to his appearances and background, but still Hwang did a decent job that at least makes us see him as an audacious villain
-But the highlight is the final 50% of the film where, incredibly, we see the best of the entire cast. This is once again due to the fate that the direction gave to the conclusion of the film, which demanded acting, expressions, fear, anguish, cowardice, mercy, regret and total mourning in a Tarantino style, but with slightly darker tones of color, but with too much of a wine red counterpoint!
-A phrase that the narrative always leaves at the beginning of the film and goes on until the grand finale is " There will be blood"
