Korea’s answer to The Wolf of Wall Street (The Phish of Seoul?) is this gatling-gun paced action derby that puts its current Hollywood counterparts to shame. The real villain in the piece is not ex-cop Han (Yo-Han Byun) or even his snakey superior VP Jeon (Kim Mu-yeol in a performance you’re gonna love to hate) — a scam artist who delights in Electroluxing the bank accounts of unsuspecting pigeons — but Mrs. Seo-Joon. In the time it took for Han to save a co-worker’s life, his better half panicked and transferred their life savings. Ditto Han’s equally flummoxed boss who flushed the company’s payroll. Being both victim and enforcer gives revenge-seeking Han a tremendous advantage when it comes to working both sides of the law. Being in the right place at the right time lands him a job at the mob’s call center. In less than a reel, he impresses the boss enough to earn a promotion and begin weakening the system from within. Why did it take so long for the police officers to recognize one of their own? Brothers Gok and Sun Kim work so quickly that when questions like that arise there’s no time to think about answers until you’re on the drive home. (2021) — Scott Marks
