A stylishly made Korean crime drama, with a super buzzed Kang Ha-neul. [+64%]

This is an out-and-out Kang Ha-neul show, I can say. The plot loses focus midway after a fun-filled first act that establishes the protagonists, but the stylistic flourishes keep coming. The third act recoups some of the lost steam and ends with a neatly packed twist, even when a large chunk of it is predictable. Like I said in the beginning, Kang Ha-neul is front and center of everything. That's the film's major selling point. He's riveting as the titular snitch, oscillating between smart and witty depending on the scene. There are issues with the way the film handles its drug-infused subplots, though director Hwang Byeong-gug keeps things interesting for the most part. Also, having Yoo Hai-jin as part of the cast is always a plus!P. S. I'm genuinely surprised Netflix hasn't picked this up yet, given their catalogue has SO MUCH of Kang Ha-neul.

When a swift street smart Lee Kang-soo (Kang Ha-neul) finds himself in jail for being unjustly accused as a meth dealer, he encounters an eager prosecutor, Goo Gwan-hee (Yoo Hai-jin), who offers to reduce Lee's sentence by having him work as a snitch, "Ya-Dang". However, when it comes to sting operations and using Ya-Dangs, narcotics officer Oh Sang-jae (Park Hae-joon ) becomes suspicious of Goo's techniques, and it appears he might be involved in a convoluted criminal network.This South Korean film, Yadang - The Snitch, has a well written storyline with many exiting and unsuspected plot twists, from betrayal, corruption, to settling the score revenge. Director Hwang Byeng-Gug exercised good judgement not implementing exaggerated CGI's and kept the action scenes interesting and grounded.The trio of main characters had great development, with outstanding cast members giving flawless performances.Promising actor Kang Ha-neul, best known for Squid Game 2, knows how to deliver a combination of dynamic action with humor. Kang was well-suited to portray the sharp dressed, charismatic Lee Kang-soo.Yoo Hai-jin was impressive transforming his role and building the underlying forces, while Park Hae-joon maintained a well balanced role that rises to the occasion.Besides the entertaining action, the traditional South Korean food culture was incorporated throughout many of the scenes giving it a delicious element - It left me craving those noodles! Also, the post credits were a nice dessert of laughter.With absolute certainty this movie is fantastic, and I am hopeful for a sequel.Writer for Countdown City Geeks.
