Description

Korean crime thriller directed by Kim Jee-woon. Hotel manager Kim Sun-woo (Lee Byung-hun) also happens to be the right-hand man of underworld crime boss Kang (Kim Yeong-cheol). When Kang begins to suspect that his young girlfriend is being unfaithful, he orders Sun-woo to deal with her, but when Sun-woo finds her in bed with another man, he uncharacteristically grants them mercy.

Stung by Sun-woo's betrayal, Kang orders his henchmen to hunt Sun-woo down and kill him, but Sun-woo is not ready to give up without a fight.
