Guardian

Like so many of the genre that hail from Seoul and its suburbs, this one punches well above its weight with an inventive reworking of well-worn plot tropes and slick production values.

Ben Travis

Empire Magazine

There's not much going on beneath the energetic surface, but for the most part The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil is a fast-paced, entertaining thriller buoyed by two engaging leads. Don't mess it up in translation, Sly.

Rated: 4/5

Jae-Ha Kim (Substack)

"The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil" is not a great film, but it's watchable because its star is Ma Dong-seok. The burly actor stars as a mob boss whose street credibility takes a beating when he is nearly killed by a floppy-haired serial killer.

Rated: 2/4

Ready Steady Cut

Action-packed thriller from South Korea about partnerships and competition in hunting a killer; a perfect film from Lee Won-tae apart from a few clichés.

Energetic and all the better for its sensible running time, though nothing new, it's an enjoyable film, if one that would have been improved by not pulling so many punches

Rated: 3.5/5

Gaming N super fun movie very enjoyable Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Max W Despite some pacing issues, the film manages to somewhat untangle a potentially compelling true story, largely thanks to the charisma of Ma Dong-seok. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review Yvonne S This movie had a good plot, good action, and good acting.

Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/20/23 Full Review rach It's one of the masterpiece without a single useless scene, hats-off to the team. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/23 Full Review edward q me gusto mucho esta película y muy recomendable 10/10 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/23 Full Review Dominic T Action, revenge and thrills, leave u sitting at the edge of your seat. Truly spectacular script, not some confusing plot unlike other tryhard movies nowadays. Videography methods during build-up scenes were also on point and contributed to the tension building throughout. Fight scenes and reasoning for every event made logical sense and made you root for the main characters as the story went along. I really enjoyed viewing this movie! Highly recommend to watch this!
