Its other title tells you all you need to know: GIBANG RIOT OF 1724. A head-banging action comedy it's a frenetic blend of modern filmmaking style and period storytelling polish. A ghetto street brawler falls for a high priced courtesan (Kim Ok-Bin, THIRST) and winds up fighting for her affections with the local gang boss. Scored to a mix of hip hop and rock, edited by monkeys jacked up on crack, and featuring wall-to-wall nutso action, it's the kind of movie that has no pretensions: it's out to do nothing more than make your head explode.
