What might put you off
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

In Chinatown, law and order is turned upside down when a trio of feral Chinese gangsters arrive, start terrorizing civilians, and usurping territory. The beleaguered local gangsters team up with the police, lead by the badass loose cannon Ma Seok-do, to bring them down. Based on a true story.
