Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I watch Asian all foreign movies. My favorite movie of all time.The best ending of all time. I really like how solid the friendship was in it. My best friend died the day i got home after being away 4 years i have never had another like him. Maybe why i like it so much. I like I Saw the Devil to. I like this director as he makes it seem so real.No foolishness in it. Just a great movie all around.I do not know what else to say OK 10 lines already.Wow.I am about to give up. The fight scenes are incredible. The friendship incredible.The ending incredible.This is hard for a dump person like me enough already.I can not get 10 lines.I am trying and its hard for a brain damaged person.Crazy hard.

A highly gripping portrait of Korean crime syndicate, New World is arguably the best mob film to come out from South Korea since Kim Jee-woon's A Bittersweet Life & is an ingeniously structured, stylishly filmed, firmly composed & violently told cinema that shares a similar thematic structure with Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather. Opening with a bloodied face of a person being tortured as he is suspected of being the mole in the gang, this crime-drama sets the tone for what's to come & as the film progresses, becomes more & more engrossing until it all culminates on a rousing high with an expertly executed finale.The plot covers the conflicts between the police & the mob through the eyes of an undercover cop who has worked his way up over the past 8 years to become the right hand man of the second-in-command for the throne of Goldmoon; the biggest crime syndicate in Korea. When its leader is killed in a car accident, the crime ring is thrown into a succession struggle of which both the police & the mob wants to make the most of and which in the end comes down to our undercover cop, who must finally make a choice that'll decide the fate of this crime organization.Outstanding well written & directed by Park Hoon-jung who does a superb job in shaping the story & even better at illustrating it on the screen, skilfully photographed too with fine use of close-ups & camera angles, tightly edited as the film flies through its 134 minutes of runtime, spectacularly scored with music making its way in or out of scenes at the right moments & strongly performed by its stellar cast, New World works because of a combination of many things it does right & is one of the best films of last year plus one of the most impressive mob films in a long time. Do not miss it.

One of the best "Gangster-Cop" drama ever. Wait, it is a thriller too. Hold on, this defines a new genre on its own. One of the best movie I ever watched. Excellent characterization, casting and rawness in the plot facilitates a riveting watch. Not to forget the scintillating background score. I cannot wait to watch the movie for the second time. Shame that the Hollywood film makers are not producing anything close to this these days. If you are not a great fan of Korean Cinema, watch this and you would be one. If you are already one, then you are bound to become a die hard fan. Very much on par with "The Departed" or might rate it a bit more too. Really wonder why this movie wasn't sent as an official entry to the Oscars from South Korea.
