    My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday! 🕖👬🐸😈 Probably as good a week of movie-watching as I can have. I rarely award 5 stars to movies yet TWO of them earned that status. I just cancelled my Peacock subscription and "The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil" was such a fantastic final film to go out on.

    I see that Hollywood is doing a remake of Don Lee's The Gangster, The Cop, the Devil from 2019, and it's going to star...DON LEE. Same part. Because it doesn't matter who you cast; nobody can quickly attain Don Lee punchingicity levels. Keanu's there too now www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

    The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil, is a god damned amazing film and doesn't need a remake. That said, holy shit am I into this casting! Keeping Ma Dong-Seok, a fluent English speaker, in the same role is the absolutely best choice. Not sure I like James Wan directing, though.

    Do Memories of Murder first, but even in a movie like The Wailing, the cops are funny, they just always dump on each other...The Gangster the Cop the Devil is fun, anything with Don Lee. Hit me with some Indian cop movies if you will. Honestly the only Indian movie I've watched in years was RRR

    If you haven't seen it, The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil is also a great movie in the Don Lee punches people in the face for two hours genre. Even the poster for it is just him punching a guy in the face.

    In The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil (2019) Ma Dong-seok is as badass as usual, but the rest of the movie is messy. It's entertaining enough, but there was potential to do something more interesting. #filmsky www.cinematicpanic.com/the-gangster...

    Check out my video review here: https://youtu.be/0UPR6YUu1ZM I like to think of Asian cinema as having a few very distinct markets. There’s the Japanese – known for their horror, monster and obscure movies. South East Asia gives us very distinct gory horrors and action films, while China, Hong Kong and Taiwan give us a mish-mash of genres – good action films, good horror films, but bland comedies and movies with mostly incoherent storylines. But Korea gives us something more unique –…
