No. 3

A parody of hardboiled gangster films, the Korean action comedy No. 3 follows the hilarious misadventures of bumbling mobster Tae-Ju (Han Suk-Kyu). Starting out as a lowly henchman for the powerful Do Ka Gang, Tae-Ju is promoted to "Gangster No. 3" after he inadvertently saves the life of his boss during an assassination attempt. But Tae-Ju is unhappy with the third-rate position and conspires to become a crimelord himself, a goal hampered by his dreamy poet girlfriend Hyun-Ji (Lee Mi-Yeon), rival gangster Ashtray (Park Sang-Myeon), determined public prosecutor Dong-pal (Choi Min-Sik) - and his own incompetence!

  Enjoyably offbeat and laugh-out-loud funny in places, but marred by the lack of a real plot and a very disjointed feel. Also the subtitles are pretty bad and I ... read more »

  Starts well, but rapidly goes downhill
  
  The film starts well as an oddball comedy - a send up of Korean gangster pics. After30 minutes it starts to lose its way. The film loses focus and becomes ... read more »
