Panos Kotzathanasis HanCinema "Failan" feeatures an original and well-presented mixture of gangster film and romantic melodrama, although the fact that the last element is the one that eventually takes over, deprive it of becoming a masterpiece.

BLC S The romance of a low life that is too lonely to be Romens and nowhere near Noir. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Choi Minsik delivers a very believable performance as Kang, an aging kkangpae (mafia) right-hand in desperate need of a way out of untimely and unfortunate circumstances beset by his superior. Incidentally, Kang marries a Chinese migrant to grant her residency status, but it proves to be a sham. This movie is about redemption, but also the permanency of past outcomes as they relate to the present. This movie will make you cry, but Choi also delivers some painfully hilarious fight scenes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This is probably in my top 10 fav list. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member "Everyone here is so kind, but you are the kindest of all". Too sad. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Most likely the greatest romance movie of all time. Amazing writing and superb acting, especially by Choi Min-sik, make this film a true work of art and emotional journey. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The greatest movie I've ever watched. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
