Bong Joon Ho brings his sharp dark wit to this true story of the investigation of South Korea’s first serial killer. In 1986, Park (Song Kang-ho) and Cho (Kim Roi-ha) are two simple-minded detectives assigned to investigate a grisly double murder in a South Korean province. The detectives – in over their heads – futilely attempt to find the perpetrator before the bloodshed escalates. The first collaboration between Bong Joon Ho and actor Song Kang-ho, this smart and suspenseful thriller is far from your average true crime fair.
