Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This English-language remake adapts the 2019 Korean original that made waves at Cannes—Ma Dong-seok reprising his role bridges both versions.

Insight

The 'cop and criminal forced together' trope gets twisted here because both men are fundamentally corrupt; there's no moral high ground to retreat to.
