The movie

To pay off his gambling debts, a taxi driver must murder a complete stranger. But nothing goes according to plan... Brillantly combining detective story, pure action, and scathing political attack, The Murderer is a movie as dark and seething as the Yellow Sea that forms its backdrop. After the thrilling The Chaser (NI FFF 2009), Na Hong-jin here proves that he is set as one of the great names in Korean thrillers.
