Former police woman gets out of prison after taing the rap for her fellow corrupt officers looking for the promised payday. The problem is no one wants anything to do with her and the guy who was supposed to pay her off committed suicide. Pissed off and wanting to know what happened our heroine begins digging.
Despite the title, this isn't a gritty action movie. This is a slow building thriller with a lot going on. There are lots of characters and lots of details. You have to pay attention and let the film take you on its ride or else you are going to feel frustrated. Watching the film I occasionally felt lost. It was okay in the end but it took a bit have things connect.
How is it? It's not bad. It's a good film that is going to be best if you realize that the whole film is low key. Even the climax is low key when you think of revenge thrillers from Korea. I read thoughts on the film and I know some people think the ending doesn't work. It's said that the film stops more than ends and it a weird way that is kind of right. If the film had ended a couple of minutes sooner that wouldn't have been the case but the ending seems to imply something may happen.
I like it enough to recommend it, with the warning that you will have to pay attention.
