The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil is a brutal crime thriller from first-time director Won-Tae Lee. With a title high evocative of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, this is a story that follows “two bad guys, catching the worst man.” The film is built around the lead performances of Don Lee (Train to Busan) and Kim Moo Yul as the frenemies of Detective Jung and Jang Dong-su, with Kim Sung-kyu always lurking in the background as the enigmatic killer “K.” Featuring equal parts dark humour and brutal violence, The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil is a demonstration of all that is currently great about South Korean genre cinema.
