Totally disappointed. The reconstructions are not as interesting and dramatic as I expected. The best thing from the movie is probably the good acting of the actors.
First time watching so sleepy so did not finish. Next time, I will watch it again with my family until the end of the movie. The content of the movie is good, worth watching, sometimes the plot is a bit fast and confusing, making it easy to fall asleep.
Claimed as a film based on a true story about a detective who investigates the case of a killer in the city of Busan, South Korea.
Without further ado, from the start the film immediately directs us to a series of murder cases that have been committed by the killer based on his confession to the detective. Cunningly, the killer tried to play with the detective with confusing statements. Until a bright spot where his actions can be proven by the police and increase the weight of the murderer's punishment.
Typical of South Korean films where police and killers are always in touch. Even though we rarely find iconic films like Memories of Murder (2003) and The Chaser (2008), but 'Dark Figure of Crime' can provide an interesting spectacle. Moreover, the film stars South Korean veteran Kim Yoon-seok (The Chaser, The Yellow Sea, Hwayi: The Monster Boy, Fog Sea and other famous titles) with the opposite of a rising actor Ju Ji-hoon.

The film started fast, but as long as you catch up with the pace, it's very understandable. I would say the title need a bit more in order to compatible to the film, which I would expect completely different story line when I read the title.
Overall, great film
What a great crime thriller movie yet again from South Korea. The suspense and mystery throughout the 1hr 50mins kept me glued to the screen on this one. The acting from the two leads was top notch and didn't disappoint from start to finish. If you love SK movies you'll love this one.
