NAMELESS GANGSTER is a fictional gangster biopic from South Korea that's nonetheless closely based on real-life characters and with a strongly realistic political backdrop of the 1980s to bolster it. It's very much the Korean answer to Scorsese's 1990s hits like GOODFELLAS and CASINO, charting small-time smuggler Choi Min-sik's rise to power after he befriends a distant relative and small-time gangster. Ha Jung-woo, one of my favourite Korean stars, plays this associate and steals all of his scenes while Min-sik compels in a thoroughly weaselly role. The film shies away from action in favourite of strong characterisation and involved plotting. It's an engaging watch.

Loyalty, deception, greed, arrogance, corruption, integrity, well it just holds too many elements in storytelling of being an epic gangster movie with some comical. You'll find a fascinating tale of how one small custom officer rose to the top of Busan's underworld and then fell back down. South Korea declared war on organized crime in 1990. Thousands of people were arrested, from bodyguards to kingpins. Nameless Criminal: Rules of the Time begins in 1990 with the arrest of Choi Ik-Hyun (Choi Min-Sik), a leading gangster in Busan. He claims to be a civil servant, but who would believe a reputed gangster? He finds a significant amount of drugs while working and sells it to the mob. That specific mob is run by Choi Hyung-Bae (Ha Jung-Woo), a distant cousin of Ik-Hyun. And so begins Ik-Hyun's entrance into the shabby underworld. It's a classic case of muscle and intellect. Ik-hyun is a businessman who recognizes that the world they live in is ruled by corruption and greed. He pursued politicians and prosecutors, while Hyung-bae ruthlessly eliminated competing gangs in order to expand their territory. Over the course of a decade, they evolve to become the city's two most prominent criminal lords. However, in a gangster film, a beautiful climb is followed by a self-inflicted fall. Ik-hyun and Hyun-bae had already turned on each other by the time the authorities commence their assault on organized crime. This smartly written drama revolves around the two leads' difficult interplay, despite consistently devoted performances. Female roles are rare in organized crime films, but Kim Hye-eun stands out as a cold-blooded nightclub queen. Ha Jung Woo and Choi Min Sik are two of Korea's most versatile actors, and their performances in 'I Saw the Devil' and 'Oldboy' prove that they are equally capable of bringing a new level of realism to the film. Great job! This movie is kind of like Goodfellas, a classic from Martin Scorsese. Both movies did establish a tense presenting an underground character's long shot career in order to generate both our sympathy and revulsion towards them. You should give it a shot if you're seeking for a well-written tale of the underworld of gangs.

Maybe I'm simply not culturally aware enough...But for 75 minutes I'm ready to give this film a 9....Obviously in films like these there has to be some room to move out of reality.. but in the World of Gangster films and zealous politicians the way this Civil Servant turned Govt source and money maker though phenomenal running his mouth to the extent that he did, that I can't fathom a scenario where he lives. Trash talking, flipping by rival "clans aka gangs aka mob families" this character should have been dead way before reaching a prosecutor's radar. When the Yakuza we're getting ready to bury him alive... that would have been a fitting ending.. but to survive that and avoid prison it just turned to utterly ridiculous.

In a structural mess of a story, the film starts near the end and then skips back and forth to tell the rise and fall of a sycophantic hustler who makes a name for himself in the world of organised crime by playing gangster. With an overly long running time, the film could have been shorter, but then, considering how the backbone of the story is the lead's connections and how he exploits them all to his own advantage, it's difficult to pinpoint just what should have been cut, as the lead's snivelling demeanour becomes a swagger and then hubris, before his total lack of understanding the mentality of all those he's involved with leads to his downfall. He then reverts back to his snivelling old self, blames everybody else for his mistakes, relies on connections and walks off into the sunset. Moral of the story? Kiss arse and you'll live a long and prosperous life. And that's the problem with the whole film: there's not a single likable character. And while the film certainly doesn't glorify anything, I honestly couldn't have cared what happened to anyone in it, and found myself restlessly checking how much of the film was left every 5 or 10 minutes. "Nameless", though, is at least adequate, because after the credits roll, you'll quickly forget about it.

This one is my first review, the only reason is that there is not much attention on this movie. Namless Gangster, as usual, Min-sik Choi is filled with passion, and your acceptance to his personality in this movies isn't any different from Oldboy, and I Saw The Devil, you can't just stop love to despise him and still, feel sorry for him, this is a hell of a role and he just took it to the maximum, loved every second of it. Jung-woo Ha, on the other hand, nailed it for me, the progress and development of this character through the movie is simply amazing, I always admired this guy, and after this one he just made it so clear, that he can just be as catchy as any other superstar actor in the universe, with his "Gangster" mood, this was simply incredible. The movie, is a Korean Gangster flick as you guys call it here, still I find it underrated, but maybe due to the fact that it is considered a new movie and still needs time, the atmosphere, the progress, the conflicts in interest, and the personal feelings, they all come in a way that will keep you through a roller-coaster of emotions! Loved it and I recommend this one!

This is a movie about a wannabe gangster who is a survivor. He repeatedly wriggles out of tight spots without knowing how he got there, or how he got out. He is a civil servant at the docks of Busan, So. Korea, who stumbles upon a robbery, chases off the robbers, and discovers they were after several pounds of heroin. His co-worker is 'connected' and knows a big-time dealer. One thing leads to another (see the above review), and he becomes a kingpin - a neophyte in the drug trade. The film was interesting, but a few things worked against further appreciation of the film. I couldn't grasp the significance of the importance of family relationships and how this could save him from death numerous times. This was very crucial to one's understanding of the story, because in an American gangster movie, he would have been toast quickly, and this would have been a film short. Over and above that, he is beaten up several times and emerges with nary a scratch. In addition, he (Choi) is a rumpled and unattractive man who lacks a moral compass; as a result, I was unable to generate any sympathy or rooting interest, and the supporting cast fell into the same category. I also think there was an occasional continuity lapse. For instance, in one scene, one of the major drug dealers is stabbed in the abdomen and bleeds profusely. In the next scene, he is his old, menacing self, as if nothing happened to him. Many meetings and dinners take place seemingly without relevance or time frame; who are these people, and why are they there? And where are they? I did the best I could to keep up and there were several violent scenes with fights and beatings and apparently no one in Korea uses guns, which would have ended some of those fight scenes pretty quickly. Sound was amplified for the fights and beatings - having seen many gangster pictures, the slaps and blows are never that loud. I rated it a six - perhaps I would have appreciated it more if I had a better understanding of Korean customs and culture. Or maybe if I were given a reason to root for the protagonist.
