What made me watch The New World? 1. Choi Min Sik (one of the best ajjeoshi actor in movie industry) 2. Read somewhere that this was inspired by the movie Infernal Affairs (Hongkong film) and The Godfather(Hollywood Film) 3. It gross big in korean cinema (spoiler free) When you saw the both movie i mentioned, you will get the idea on what to expect on the movie even though i think The New World isn't on par with those movies, it still has its own style that will make you wow on some parts and deliver some amazingness in your face =) The movie isn't really confusing and it was easy to follow but needs some patience to understand whats going on and there's a twist here and there and it was solid with a tight plot. Strong perfomance, no weak acting, nice build up with payoff and some brutalness but nothing to be afraid of. Brilliant gangster movie .. Horray!! ^^ thanks for reading my quick short review \o/ note: (subject to edit for elaboration)
