After surviving a brutal stabbing, a ruthless crime boss learns from a determined detective that he was attacked by a serial killer. The two form an unholy alliance and agree that the killer belongs to the one who finds him first. Lee Won-tae's second feature is a well-directed, visually stunning, and brutally violent action movie. Although the story is twisty and entertaining, it doesn't add up to much.
