If you loved Die Bad, try The City of Violence

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Ryoo Seung-wan, and they sit in Action / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to Die Bad, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The City of Violence is

Rainy streets of Seoul at night, neon lights reflecting off wet pavement, a solitary saxophone wails, a funeral procession, two friends investigating a suspicious death. Director Ryoo Seung-wan typifies South Korean action.
