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 found it hard to follow what was going on a lot of the time with all the different gangsters and gangs.
If you're looking for a hilarious and original Far-Eastern film, try Kung Fu Hustle instead.
