Revisiting the 1980 Gwangju Massacre, a landmark historical event in South Korea’s march towards democracy, director Jang Hoon brings a sappy, feel-good touch to a tragic subject by focusing on the bond between a German reporter (Thomas Kretschmann) and the taxi driver (Song Kang-ho) who helped him get the news out to the world.Han Cinema summarizes the crime drama Violent Prosecutor:
An investigator (Hwang Jung-min) who was framed and put in prison, holds hands with a fraud (Gang Dong-won) and attempts to clear his name.A Taxi Driver starts at 5:30 on the 16th, and Violent Prosecutor starts at 5:00 on the 30th.
