Dark Figure of Crime

DARK FIGURE OF CRIME is a somewhat unremarkable true crime tale from South Korea, similar to MEMORIES OF MURDER but not on the same level. It involves Kim Yoon-seok (of stone-cold classics like THE CHASER and THE YELLOW SEA) as a detective reopening a cold case about a serial killer who claims to have murdered multiple other victims whose bodies have never been found. There are some flashbacks here but the majority is a cat-and-mouse psychological game between detective and killer, the latter played by the guy who was the crown prince in KINGDOM. Sedately paced but involving with it, this is a good watch for fans of the genre.

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.

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.

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

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.
