Movie Picks: "Rainbow Eyes", "Hensel and Gretel", American Gangster

Time to check on the week's new films.
We have a detective story that plays mind games, a Grimm Brother's fairy tale and even a classic Hollywood style gangster movie.
Here's Shin Haejoo.
"Rainbow Eyes", it's a mystery thriller which will keep you on the edge.
Like the American film "The Usual Suspects", the killer is revealed at the end after many plot twists.
Three consecutive murder cases lead to one suspect, who was brutally assaulted 10 years ago, while serving in the army, by the murdered men.
Reasons lead to revenge but the killer has vanished and his only sister is in a mental hospital.
The story digs into the mind of the serial killer and for the lead detective played by Kim Kang-woo finding him means removing his numerous masks.
This movie takes ideas from the 19th century children's fairytale "Hansel and Gretel".
The original story by the Grimm Brothers tells a story of two abandoned children in the midst of famine stricken Europe.
The Korean version begins with the same idea, but the house built of cookies and sweets is actually the home to children with no witches or adults.
The main character Eunsoo upon venturing out to find his mother encounters other children who bring him to their home in the woods.
The boy finds himself in a reclusive place where food is abundant, but suspicion mounts upon hearing strange sounds from the attic and discovering notes written from parents who seemed to have come and gone.
There is much to question for the boy played by familiar face Cheon Jeong-myeong, known for his roles in several Korean hit drama series.
Oscar winners Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe relive the true story of a legendary gangster who ruled the Harlem streets in the 1970s.
Washington is a driver to a black crime boss who, following his death, uses shrewd business tactics to take over the inner city drug trade.
Crowe is the guy who is on to Washington after finding links to a new power player ruling the underworld drug scene.
Oscar nominee, director Ridley Scott, who worked with Crowe in the movie "Gladiator" leads the spectacular cast in telling the true tale of an "American Gangster".
