great film, the film title is not as attractive
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
A Tragedy. Utterly Sad...
How much would you risk to expose a self-professed killer? However, what if the supposed killer was really just a manipulative liar, would you risk your professional reputation, your career, your finances? This drama is a tragic depiction of loss involving the victims of crime and those who investigate the criminals. Very well done.
Nostalgic Detective & Killers Movies from South Korea
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.

a horrifying yet beautiful thriller
Excellent crime thriller about a detective seeking further punishment of a convicted murderer who despite confessing to further crimes, uses legal loopholes and the statute of limitations, coupled with half truths and misinformation to evade justice.
Kim Yoon-seok's performance was outstanding as usual and rising star Ju Ji-hoon was also very impressive, balancing his performance well. Based on a true story, strongly recommend.
well satisfying crime drama psycho movie without chase and thrill
The plot of this revolve around a psycho who murdered women and burry them at different places and challenge detective to find those missing bodies. This is a masterpiece movie with excellent acting ju hi joon and detective kim yoon also.
