Out for revenge, Tae-gu makes the obvious error of going after the BukseongвЂ™s head honcho, causing an inter-gang calamity from which he attempts to hide on Jeju before eventually fleeing to Russia.Дuring his period of seclusion, though, Tae-gu meets Jae-yeon (Jeon Yeo-been), the terminally ill daughter of the arms dealer putting him up, and thus begins an understated getting-to-know-you period that sometimes plays like a road trip, sometimes like a romance, and sometimes like the idle imaginings of a serial killer. Said gangster is Tae-gu (Um Tae-goo), a ruffian operating on mainland Seoul under the auspices of Yang Do-soo (Park Ho-san), and heвЂ™s evidently good enough at his job to be headhunted by the Bukseong gang, whose attempts to recruit him lead to the deaths of Tae-guвЂ™s sister and niece when he refuses. If the filmвЂ™s fascination with gore and brutality is intended as a point about the savagery of the world itвЂ™s set in, then I donвЂ™t think it makes it, but if youвЂ™re in the market to see a gangster headbutt someone almost to death, then youвЂ™re in the right place. Another is an aching earnestness paired with a B-movie level of excess in the many scenes of action and death.

Setting a gritty, bloodthirsty crime drama on the idyllic island of Jeju is the first of many idiosyncrasies in Park Hoon-jungвЂ™s Night in Paradise, which is now streaming on Netflix. Brutal, stylish, and compelling, Park Hoon-jungвЂ™s Night in Paradise offers plenty of pleasures for the strong-stomached.
