Quote

News collection, missing persons, drugs, escapes and revenge. A former violent detective with a knife in his head and a sneaky materialistic VJ collaborate!

Freelance VJ Gook-hyeon is a North Korean defector who is looking for news when he comes across Ki-man, a former detective who lives with a knife stuck in his head. Ki-man is living off scraps until Gook-hyeon convinces him he would help him get revenge on Jeong Tae-hwa, a drug mob boss who killed his partner.

While they track down Jeong Tae-hwa, they meet Seol-lan, who is looking for her missing sister, Song-hwa, who is Jeong Tae-hwa’s mistress. All three of them head to a deserted island in the South. - Hancinema

It's an okayish movie. Jung Doo-hong is without a doubt a great martial artist. However this movie also serves as a perfect example that without proper editing the fights just don't have enough "punch" *no pun inteded*. Here's hoping he'll get another chance to show of his skills in front of the camera.

Agreed, it a watchable movie if expectations are set, and nice to see Jung Doo-hong front and center (hard to believe it's been 14 years since he last headlined a movie, and even that was co-starring with Ryoo Seung-wan in 'City of Violence'). I gave it the full review treatment over at COF -
