“The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil” / Z-View

The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil (2019)

Director:  Won-Tae Lee

Screenplay: Won-Tae Lee

Starring:  Ma Dong-seok, Mu-Yeol Kim  and Kim Sungkyu.

Tagline:  Don’t let the devil win.

The Overview:  Beware of Spoilers…

A gangster, after barely surviving a brutal attack, reluctantly joins forces with the one cop who believes a serial killer is active in the area.  The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil is a stylish, violent tale written and directed by Won-Tae Lee.  The charismatic, Ma Dong-seok (of Train to Busan fame) plays the gangster and was one of the reasons I wanted to check out the film. The fact that Sylvester Stallone optioned the rights for an American reboot with Ma Dong-seok returning was another.

The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil was a fun ride.  Ma Dong-seok is already on my stars to watch list.  I’m going to add writer./director Won-Tae Lee as well.    The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil rates 4 of 5 stars.
