As he asks where the brothers are, Ramrowan walks in and shoots at Tae-sik, killing Du-chi in the crossfire. Following the lead from the burner phone he received from Jong-seok, Tae-sik tracks Du-chi to a nightclub. Upon further investigation, the police officers discover he was a former covert operative for the South Korean Army Intelligence, with numerous commendations, but retired after he was wounded and his pregnant wife was killed by a hitman.
Tae-sik escapes from the police station, alarming them with his display of combat skills. Myung-gyu escapes, while Tae-sik is arrested and discovers Hyo-jeong's body, with her organs harvested, in the back of the car he used to make the delivery. Man-seok informs the police, leading to them swarming Myung-gyu's property. Realizing Tae-sik has a soft spot for So-mi, Jong-seok kidnaps her and forces him to deliver opium to Oh Myung-gyu. His lackeys, Du-chi and Bear, go to Tae-sik's place to intimidate him, but he easily overpowers them. Jong-seok locates Hyo-jeong, tortures her in front of So-mi, and forces her to reveal where the drugs are. Her action attracts the attention of crime lord Oh Myung-gyu, who tasks his subordinates, brothers Man-seok and Jong-seok, to retrieve the opium.

The final knife fight scene is absolutely incredible and unlike any other I’ve ever seen.Cha Tae-sik is a quiet man running a pawnshop. This movie doesn’t have a hell of a lot of martial arts in it until the very end of the film. Having killed everyone in sight, and remorseful over the death of So-mi, he points a gun at his head, before discovering she is alive – a moment of happiness that he at least got this move right!Ĭha Tae-sik’s character is very emotional for the rest of the film, and Won Bin’s acting talents are really remarkable in my opinion – he sells the character, the emotion and delivers a truly awesome physical performance as well! The Action Cha Tae-sik cuts loose and ruthlessly murders every last man in the room with his knife before eventually chasing down the head of the group.
There’s a lot of imagery anyone with a family can relate to – losing your wife, unborn child, and possibly another make this movie very relatable.īut the real emotional charge is most obvious at the end of the film – when Cha Tae Sik is told that So-mi is dead, and has had her eyes cut out, right before throwing them to him. Watching these scumbags being killed or taken apart like worthless chunks of meat is what I enjoyed about this movie – with Cha tae-sik’s simple, bloodthirsty yet righteous rage. His nature is dark, as is the rest of the movie as he ventures in to grittier parts of the city, revealing a disgusting side of the underworld filled with the scum of the Earth. This is the driving force behind his relentless and ruthlessly vicious chase and killing of the kidnapping gangsters – and makes for some awesome entertainment! With So-mi becoming almost like a little sister or even a daughter to him, he sees the same mistakes unfolding again. This is what leads to his quiet existence, having mourned for years over their deaths. But later we learn of his loss – the sudden death of his pregnant wife. It turns out he is an ex-special ops agent with a high level of training and skill. Cha Tae-sik’s pastĬha Tae-sik isn’t your ordinary neighbour, even when the police try to learn more about his identity his file happens to be locked – under military order.
