"The Outlaws" is a very entertaining if not quite first-rank genre exercise that reps an auspicious bow for first-time feature director Kang Yoon-Seong.

A robustly entertaining crime picture.

A thriller that establishes the tonal and narrative foundations of the saga: direct violence, occasional humor, and a protagonist of imposing strength. [Full review in Spanish].

With Ma Dong-seok on good form in a familiar role, the film has plenty to offer, and should be enjoyed by anyone looking for an undemanding couple of hours of gangster action
