Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOn September 20, 2018, the sister of a victim filed an injunction to the Seoul Central District Court to ban the screening of the film, complaining that the production crew did not asked for permission before making a story about the murder of her brother. The family were also upset that the film only changed the story's setting to 2012 (the actual murder case happened in 2007), and that some elements in the film bears great similarity to the actual case, such the convict's age and his murder method.
- Alternate versionsOn August 20, 2018, the film received an 18 rating from the Korea Media Rating Board. Replying to media, the film's production company stated that the film did not contain 'such strong' restricted content (such as violence and gore), and they believed that it is milder than two other 2018 released films Độc Chiến (2018) and Sát Thủ Nhân Tạo (2018), which both received age 15-rating. As such, the film was re-edited and re-submitted to the board for a "age 15-rating", with no change in its release schedule. The film eventually was released under a age 15-rating, after approximately 2 minutes worth of content were shaved off from the original cut.
Featured review
a horrifying yet beautiful thriller
Excellent crime thriller about a detective seeking further punishment of a convicted murderer who despite confessing to further crimes, uses legal loopholes and the statute of limitations, coupled with half truths and misinformation to evade justice.
Kim Yoon-seok's performance was outstanding as usual and rising star Ju Ji-hoon was also very impressive, balancing his performance well. Based on a true story, strongly recommend.
