Gangnam Blues (2015) - Korean Gangster Movie from the Director of 'A Dirty Carnival'

[One Armed Boxer]

Somehow the news of this one managed to fly under my radar. Yoo Ha, who brought us the gangster classic 'A Dirty Carnival' back in 2006, is returning to the genre this year with 'Gangnam Blues'.

The guys over at Twitch have already weighed in with a review, and it sounds like a good one! -

I got through watching this one recently, and can happily say Korea has once again set the standard for how a gangster flick should be. You can check out my full review here -

A few weeks back Sheng saw this in theater and was singing it's praises to me. Hopefully he'll share his thoughts about it here as well.

I'm definitely going to check out your review One Armed Boxer.

A DIRTY CARNIVAL is close to the top among my favorite Korean flicks, so this particular release is something I'm looking forward to.

One of the best scenes in the movie IMHO. Let's see how long it will stay online
