Lo-key gangster nonsense - The Merciless review by Alphaville
Unaccountably playing at Cannes, and despite being liked by some critics, this bog-standard, one-paced Korean gangster drama soon palls. Noirish and pulpish, with no action to relieve the who-cares-anyway gang in-fighting, it’s a long 2hr haul to the end credits.

Another South Korean crime gem - The Merciless review by Koppert79
It's about the gangsters and dodgy police and it's from south Korea. Do you need to even guess that this is brilliant
