  • 'SIU' falls into traps of cop movie cliches

    Eom Tae-woong, left, and Joo Won appear in a scene from the cop movie "SIU". / Courtesy of Cinergy/Lotte Entertainment By Lee  Hyo-won From the "Two Cops" franchise and the "Public Enemy" series to most recently "The Apprehenders", Korean cinema seems to have seen its fair share of cop movies, but "SIU" is proving to be entertainment that sells well despite its flaws. Having drawn over 550,000 viewers as of Tuesday since opening last week, the box office topper shows the grace of having a convincing script, allowing actors to shine and sticking close to the rules of a given genre, without being afraid to throw something else into the picture. The latter, however, proves to be a trap as well, as some grossly miscalculated narrative elements end up becoming cliches that weigh down the intrigue,...More
  • [HanCinema's Film Review] Authority and Power in Korean Cinema

    2011/10/15,
    The representation of authority in modern Korean cinema has me perplexed. The power and agency public organisations should hold is lacking, with institutions being portrayed as weak, incompetent and unprofessional. This is not a judgement but rather an observation that recent films such as "The Crucible" and "Poongsan" have confirmed. Political corruption, police incompetence, and individual responsibility seems to be some of strongest themes running through contemporary Korean cinema. The 2011 film "The Crucible" has sparked outcry from the Korean public as the true-life story, on which is was based, remains unresolved even in this cinematic retelling. The Korean populous has refused to accept the results of the investigation and have sited a number of laws and procedures they want to have change in order to prevent another tragedy from occurring,...More

Also known as "Officer of the Year"
Synopsis
It’s a dog-eat-dog world where only the fittest survives – and, law enforcement agency is no exception. Competition is fierce between the two neighboring precincts of Mapo and Seodaemun who are subject to constant comparison. Mapo Precinct’s Chief, HWANG Jae-seong is the top dog with unmatched record. When elite academy-graduate JEONG Eui-chan gets newly appointed as Seodaemun’s chief and get his first arrest stolen by HWANG, the rivalry becomes a personal one. And, the race is on for the glorious title of so-called ‘Officer of the Year’ - and generous prize money that comes with it. Both men have their own desperate reasons to win – HWANG needs the credentials for his much overdue promotion and Eui-chan who is about to become a father is in need of the prize money. When a high profile serial-rape case falls on their lap, the two chiefs go head-to-head to catch the perpetrator. With only 2 weeks to deadline, the first to cuff the criminal will take home the prize.
