Gunfire, a big knife, and perhaps best of all, a jaw-dropping elevator malfunction all figure in the mix. Judging by this, South Korean cinema isn't just alive and well, it's kicking and screaming.

Although The Unjust has a kinetic energy, I suspect that's merely to distract from the overly-convoluted plot, and the film's one wildcard - that bizarre sense-of-humour... - disappears after the first hour.

A film noir dripping with guilt and laced with absurdity. In Korean Gotham all the cops are criminals and all the sinners saints.
