Since the film revolves almost entirely around his character, it is fortunate that Tae Sik is a fully fleshed out and interesting figure, particularly during the early stages when, having no real prior frame of reference to his past behaviour, it comes as a shock to the viewer to see his extensive tattooing. Although it is initially difficult to associate such a meek and unassuming man with the murderous violence of which he has apparently been capable, Kim’s multilayered performance does a good job of providing subtle hints of his internal turmoil and the viciousness lurking beneath his timid exterior. This provides the film with a heartfelt emotional core, something which helps to overcome the inherent predictability of the plot, with the final showdown having been clearly marked from the opening scene.
Thematically, the film acts like a checklist of the usual gangster film motifs, covering corruption, betrayal and the adverse affects of violence, though it does at least steer away from any glamorisation of the criminal life, with most of the characters being depicted as a cowardly lot. As the true nature of Tae Sik’s relationship with his surrogate mother is revealed, the film does explore some potentially more interesting territory. Unfortunately this emerges a little too late in the proceedings to add more than a sprinkling of psychological intrigue.
Kang’s direction is solid, if unremarkable, though he does manage to give the film a generally polished look, and keeps things moving along at a reasonable pace, throwing in the odd burst of violence whenever things start to flag. His past experience as a director of comedy films shows through in places, adding a welcome touch of humour to the funny scenes which play upon Sik’s embarrassment at his tattoos and the fact that his fellow gangsters are clearly terrified of him, and seem to expect him to attack them at any moment.
