This is a fun South Korean heist film. I think I will go on a South Korean film binge for awhile. Our protagonist is Muhyeok Hong. The family business is to operate as a Robinhood style thief, stealing from the rich and corrupt, giving to the poor. And by family business, I mean that he is 18th generation in the business. The story takes us through a series of complications including romance (not only because the girlfriends brother-in-law is the main prosecutor), an over-eager younger brother, spies and counter spies. The characters are fun, and have fun with their roles, making this as near to an action-comedy heist film as you will see. But it is not belly-busting comedy. Instead, it is subtle and clever.
4 stars (out of 5)
