From Kim Jee Woon, the director of such hits as The Quiet Family, The Foul King, and A Tale of Two Sisters, comes the stylish, ultraviolent gangster flick, A Bittersweet Life! Lee Byung Hun (Joint Security Area) stars as Sun Woo, a unique character with a curious lifestyle – he's not only a valued gang member and the proprietor of a hotel bar, but also the right-hand man to the powerful gang leader, Mr. Kang (Kim Yeong Chul). When Kang suspects that his beautiful young mistress Hee Soo (Sin Min Ah, from Volcano High) might be messing around with another man, he enlists Sun Woo's help to resolve the matter, commanding him to follow her around to see what information he can dig up. Sun Woo's orders are explicit: if he catches Hee Soo cheating, he is to execute her – no ifs ands or buts about it. However, when Sun Woo spies Hee Soo with her boyfriend, he makes a stunning decision, one that will have major consequences for all involved!

Although the hit film Crying Fist barely edged it out for the top spot at the box office, A Bittersweet Life is a success in its own right, hailed by critics as a dazzling neo-noir thriller, chocked full of breathtaking cinematography, intriguing characters, and an ample dosage of violence just for good measure. In addition, Lee Byung Hun is earning critical raves for his performance as Sun Woo, a super-cool hitman with motivations all his own. But in the end, will Sun Woo make it out alive? Find out in A Bittersweet Life, a film that highlights the shadowy underbelly of Korean society, a place where the streets are dark with something more than night.

udah beredah tuh di Indo..belum sempet ntn, udah beli dvdnya,kalo udah , ntar dikasih ratingnya.......

baru liat bagusss kasih deh.

kecewa. kirain bagus bgt kaya old boy gitu.
Awal2nya seh bagus, good lighting, camera angle/shots juga bagus, tp akhirnya kok cuman revenge movie biasa doank, shot there kill there and here. not enough twist

oiya lupa kasih tau kalo ini action flick. salah satu bagian bagus for me yah tembak2an itu.

orangnya ndak mati2, udah ditusuk2, jari2 patah2, disiksa2, darah kemana mana, sakti banget...

kan dah gua bilang di spoiler.

Sha Po Lang mestinya bisa ngalahin ini dengan gampang. sayangnya SPL berusaha fokus ke semua karakter. ga jadi terfokus malah annoying.

bedanya SPL ato Troy berantemnya bagus kaya hmm tarian. gerakannya indah. kalo ini brutal ga ada jurus2an udah asal kontak aja.
