Review of The Outlaws

The Outlaws (2017)
7/10
Murder, mayhem and mystery. (A lot of graphic violence)
14 December 2021
The movie is set in certain parts and time of S. Korea. As this is based on real incidents, there is not a single complaint from me. Yet, the film does start with a worrying depiction of certain segments of the population. As the movie proceeds, you realize that this is not depicting harmful stereotypes, so fair enough

The direction and editing add to the overall appeal of this police procedural. The movie runs at a decent speed and makes you appreciate the hard work the main characters put in as if they were your own teammates.

The villains are believable and the 'dog eat dog' world never ceases to offer up intriguing plot twists. As most characters are flawed, you end up supporting the hero if you are okay with some of his indecencies. Else, your conservative sensibilities could make you hate him too

The twists and turns are innumerable, with a wide array of supporting actors always offering their support this amazing film. There is no end to the good parts of this film, especially the well made hero introduction scene. However, some parts of this film do bore you and wonder if there is anything more to life other than crime or violence for these people. Take a guess, no is the word.
