Beautiful Sunday: Has anyone seen this movie if so how is it?

Synopsis:

Written and directed by Jin Kwang Gyo, Beautiful Sunday is a joltingly dark and visceral action thriller that subverts all emotions and expectations. Amidst fist-fighting action, underworld conspiracies, and an almost punishing narrative, the film presents a world of convoluted, misguided characters in various shades of gray. Park Yong Woo, who recently starred in the crime thriller The World of Silence, again portrays a police officer, but this time he is the one being hunted. Fair-faced Nam Gung Min (A Dirty Carnival) also plays against type as a mild-mannered young man with a shocking secret. In Beautiful Sunday, there are no good guys or bad guys, only impulses and consequences.

Faced with mounting hospital bills for his comatose wife, detective Kang (Park Yong Woo) arranges for a portion of the wares from a drug bust to end up in a rival gang's hands in exchange for a cut of the profits. Kang is willing to do anything to get the money he needs, but the crossed gang is equally determined to recover their stolen goods. In another part of town, Min Woo (Nam Gung Min) and Su Yeon (Min Ji Hye, The Fox Family) meet in a bookstore, fall in love, and get married. What seems like a happy ending derails when Su Yeon discovers that her loving husband is the same man who raped her one night in a dark street. For these two desperate men who have erred in the name of love, crime only leads to more crime as they try to confront their wrongdoings. What happens when their paths cross one beautiful Sunday?

I never heard of it, but it sounds pretty good, I'm going to try and pick it up.

Editorial Reviews

The movie starts with a seemingly routine drug bust at an anonymous port, and Kang (Park Yeong-woo), a police detective, is the point man. Rolling his eyeballs wildly, he sips a bottle of liquor before racing frantically to the crime scene. What follows is a series of fist-fighting and chase scenes, with kicks and punches flying all over the place. A big chunk of the illegal drugs, however, ends up in the wrong hands - it turns out that Kang has a secret deal with another mob group. Kang is not a hopelessly corrupt police detective, however. He has to care of his wife, who is in hospital with a coma. The medical bills are mounting and he needs more money, regardless of where it comes from.
