Work is tough in the Korean film industry (especially if your fight scenes keep hurting the stunt men!) - just ask Jang Soo-Ta.

Jang Soo-Ta (Kang) is a big time actor, with a problem; he keeps injuring stunt people during his action shoots when he takes the realism too far. He decides that maybe it’s better to not have stunt people, but instead a real tough guy. He finds Kang Mi-na (Hong), a local gangster and all around tough guy. Kang decides to make the fights real and turn the tables on Jang and thus begins a war that becomes a love triangle when they fight over the lead actress.

With elements of films like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Lethal Weapon, this adrenaline-fueled, popcorn film will surely make you think about action films in a whole new light. - Phil Luque
