Review:
One of my most favorite movies. If you like foreign movies, this is definately one to see.

It is a detective movie, but there are also funny things here and there, as well.

Language is in Korean, but you should be able to find it with English subtitles. This movie may be a little harder to find, but it would definately be worth the trouble.

The plot is excellent, the ending is brillant, and the actors are believable and enjoyable.

The town detective tries desperately to save what forensic evidence they have, even though he puts every possible (innocent) suspect through torture measures to the point of confessing to the crimes. You personally have a sigh of relief when a proper detective shows up to help out with the crimes.

Definately one of the best movies I have ever seen.
