THE MOVIE<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A professional GO player, Tae-seok (JUNG WOO-SUNG), loses a high-stakes game to an infamous underground gambler KILLER and ends up framed for the murder of his own brother. After serving his sentence, he gets in touch with his brother\u2019s former associates and together, they penetrate KILLER\u2019s inner circle and eliminate his men one by one. But once KILLER discovers Tae-seok\u2019s true identity, he engages him in one final game that will decide who lives and who dies.<\/p>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The movie is presented with a 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer (MPEG-4 AVC codec). The video actually isn\u2019t half bad with OK detail but colors appear to be muted and look a bit too clean with some grain, though I suspect it was shot digitally giving it near made-for-TV appearance at times. It\u2019s not at all a bad transfer, just nothing phenomenal.

AUDIO \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Strangely, the disc only includes the standard Dolby Digital sound in the original Korean language, with forced English subtitles, as well as a (poorly) dubbed English version in both 5.1 and 2.0 channels. I went back and forth between English and Korean and can unequivocally say, stick with the original language, though the dubbing may lead to countless possibilities for mockery.<\/p>\n
