Dick C @Joshua19930826 Sep 12, 2022 It's an excellent movie co-written by Kim Hyun-duk and Cho Ui-seok who directs also... Lee Byung-hun portrays the Villain great... Kim Woo-bin is good...and later in leading role in Alienoid, 2022... See more Dec 2, 2021 The best Korean movie. See more Jul 31, 2017 The extremely convoluted plot really lowered the film's quality despite a very solid cast (especially Lee Byung-hun who outshone his fellow actors by miles). See more Mar 24, 2017 Never cared for the actors in the movie but pretty well made. See more Jan 8, 2017 Kind of like a reverse Catch Me If You Can, Master is a korean crime thriller about an agent who turns a system manager into taking down a con artist and his fake company. The movie has lots of twists, nice performances, and is very thrilling. Its worth a viewing for something different, but also a bit familiar. See more Jan 6, 2017 A financial thriller with top-billed cast. It is rare to find three top-billed cast in a single South Korean movie, which probably explains why 'Master' shot up to the top of the box-office charts and attracted 5 million viewers in the first two weeks in the home country. This financial thriller revolves around President Jin (Lee Byung- hun), of One Network who is heading a pyramid scheme. He is a cold- hearted, greedy con man who plays the most complex character as he brings up the main theme of the story. Park Jang Goon (Kim Woo-bin) plays an expert systems manager who seems to shift loyalties between police and villains multiple times. Kim binds the two characters of Lee and Kang together and plays a witty, two-dimensional character. Kim Jae Myung (Kang Dong-won) is an obligatory police captain who plots to catch the bad guys and bring justice to the innocent people who were scammed. I personally find Kang's character the best and his exceptional performance in this movie is absolutely remarkable. The bromance among the three characters is not to be missed. The storyline flows fast while building some degree of suspense, especially towards the latter part. However, half of the running time shows how one double-crosses another and the story to circle around itself without getting anywhere. There are a few action scenes and nothing brutal. Neither any sort of romance is involved. The movie is shot in South Korea initially and moves to Manilla, Philipines towards the latter. I definitely recommend this movie to everyone who enjoys thrillers. See more Read all reviews
