Review of New World (2013) by Dan M — 01 Mar 2014
A mixture of Infernal Affairs and Election with a Korean touch, and a very fine touch that is. Some parts are quite waning, especially in the second half, the fast tempo is not consistent, maybe due to the length of the film, and of course the Korean melodramatic elements still float around.
But the film in a whole is a very fine crime film with the distictive Korean identity that can be mistaken for a Hong Kong Triad film. If only Choi Min-sik's Chief Kang could be further developed and involve, this film could be even (much) better.
