The veteran detectives renowned for always getting their man are back in action! Detective Seo Do-cheol (HWANG Jung-min) and his Major Crime Investigation Division tirelessly track down criminals day and night, often at the expense of their personal lives. When the murder of a professor reveals links to past cases, suspicions of a serial killer arise, plunging the country into turmoil. As Major Crimes delves into the investigation, the killer taunts them by publicly releasing a teaser online, indicating the next victim, and intensifying the chaos. To tackle the escalating threat, the team brings in idealistic rookie officer Park Sun-woo (JUNG Hae-in), leading to unexpected twists in the case's trajectory.

Scales back on its predecessor’s laughs in order to focus more closely on — as well as to examine — the violence of its police protagonists.

A film that’s wildly entertaining but also has a great deal on its mind about how far we should be willing to go to balance the scales.

Rated: 3/4

On the whole, this instalment is a confident step up from the original. I, The Executioner may have more on its mind, but not to the detriment of the bone-crushing escapism that defined the first chapter.

Surprisingly funny and good story. I haven’t watched the part 1 which came out in 2015 and there were very few references to that movie so no need to watch that one before watching this.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
