He is both passively aggressive and "aggressively passive" as the enigmatic murderer. Ha Jung-woo ("Never Forever"), whom renowned director Martin Scorsese had praised as having "as much potential as Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon," brazenly displays an animalistic instinct for acting. It's because she is a valuable asset for business, not a sense of social responsibility.īut corrupt politics among the police and prosecutors, media play and other mishaps set the killer free. While the cops are busy poking around in all the wrong places to retrieve evidence, Jung-ho, convinced that Mi-jin is still alive, embarks on his own investigation. They try to put a case together in a desperate attempt to save face after a notorious incident that had literally dung-slapped the Seoul mayor.

The police have hit the jackpot, as Myeong-min claims to be responsible for a bunch of unsolved serial murders. What's more, he can't seem to remember the exact number of his victims ― was it 10 or 12? But that woman (Mi-jin) is probably alive,: killer Ji Myeong-min (Ha Jung-woo) "casually" mentions to the police.
He accidentally crashes into the guy while driving recklessly. Jung-ho does track him down, but it's far from heroic. "4885 ― that's you, right? If I catch you, you're dead," he says. He suspects human trafficking and sets out to catch the culprit, grumbling how much money he had paid for the girls. When Mi-jin (Seo Yeong-hi) disappears he notices that they've gone missing after getting a call from the same client, or cell phone number. Jung-ho is in a sour mood as one call girl vanishes after another. He's a former cop who got fired for bribery, and now runs a so-called door-to-door masseuse service, which is really a sordid call girl business. Jung-ho is an antihero who gives a bad first impression. Kim Yun-seok, the award-winning supporting actor from "Tazza: The High Rollers" and the familiar face from "The Happy Life," nails down his first lead role. Here, the cat-and-mouse game is not between the police and criminal: In American parlance, a less-than-average Joe tracks down a serial murderer, while the corrupt police and public prosecutors prove to be rather useless. He made a name for himself in the international scene for shorts like "A Perfect Red Snapper Dish," and presents an original story that was three years in the making. "The Chaser" marks director Na Hong-jin's feature film debut. While giving the much-exploited genre a novel edge, it's a classic edge-of-the-seat experience with pulsating action, cynical comic relief and elusively gripping characters. It's a film noir with a serious message, but is entertaining despite being ridden with social criticism from beginning to end. But "The Chaser," coming to theaters Feb. Valentine's Day? You've got to be kidding. Not another serial killer story ― and for St. It is filmed on locations mainly in Seoul Gangnam area. And Lee Seung-min stars Han-byeol, who lives together with Jae-hyun and is also a sister of Seoung-woo ( Yoon Kye-Sang ). Yoo Ha Joon and Kwon Se In star as hosts, Won-tae and Ji-ho who work in the host bar run by Jae-hyun. Chang-woo is always concerned about Jae-hyun who is hot-tempered and often makes trouble. Ma Dong Seok (who co-starred with Ha in H.I.T.) stars as gang, Chang-woo, who works for host bar and is a close friend of Jae-hyun ( Ha Jung Woo). Meanwhile, Cheon Jeong-myeong had been rumoured for the candidates of the role. It is confirmed that Yoon Kye-Sang stars as Seung-woo instead of Jang-Hyuk.
