Jang Chen (Yoon Kye-Sang) came from China and now works as a loan shark in a seedy Chinatown area of Seoul. He’s backed up by his bloodthirsty henchmen Wei Sung-Rak (Jin Seon-Kyu) and Yang-Tae (Kim Sung-Kyu). Jang Chen is beyond brutal in his methods to collect money.
I walked away from "Train to Busan" with the distinct impression that Ma Dong-seok had stolen the movie - no small feat in a film about a train full of zombies. 2017's "The Outlaws" serves as the perfect vehicle for the actor's persona, which is one part teddy bear, one part hulking bruiser. This action/comedy doesn't shy away from brutal violence, and offers an equal spotlight for Yoon Kye-sang's nihilistic villain.
Ma Dong-seok is brilliant in this comedic action thriller. Tracking down a couple of psychos and banging heads on his way there. No fear.
Un poliziotto trucido che risolve le questioni a mazzate contro una banda di gangster spietata capeggiata da un leader carismatico e sanguinario. Nulla spicca al di sopra del consueto, se non la massiccia presenza di Ma Dong-Seok nel ruolo di protagonista, vera e propria maschera fisica di un cinema coreano non sempre parco di volti memorabili ma che in lui pare aver trovato uno dei più massicci punti fermi.
