Lucas E. G @RT03867512 Sep 3 me la solia ver en bucle sin parar. la vi como a los 17 y me encanto la peli mas que nada por el soundtrack del karaoke de jo duk bae pero ya no la encuentro con el doblaje y solo en koreano... ojala algun dia alguien rescate este film asi puedo volver a disfrutar viendola en bucle (tambien es mi primera peli que vi de gangster y para mi es uno de los mejores para empezar sin olvidar oldboy) See more 06/24/2021 This is a brilliant Korean gangster film. It's main edge to other gangster movies is it's realism. Great fight scenes and a brilliant lead character who you adhere to. I watched from the UK with subtitles and still really enjoyed it.

See more 09/17/2015 Yet another gangsta pic from Korean and its both sentimental and rough in its own way See more 07/06/2015 An extremely realistic gritty Korean gangster film. While the plot might not be the most original, it is indeed very authentic. The subtle twists and turns "Dirty Carnival" takes are surprisingly fresh for a country that is famous for continually mastering the mafia genre on a regular basis. I mean a few of the best gangster films I've seen in the past couple months were "New World," "Nameless Gangster" and "Infernal Affairs." Now those are some heavy films to compete with in my mind, and "Carnival" goes toe to toe with every one of them. Nearly a four and half stars, but only for the fact that I've bee watered down these past couple months with an overload of mafia films. On repeat viewings that just might change. Just one more thing. Most people's complaints with Korean gangster films, especially this one, is why they don't use guns to solve nearly half the problems they are facing. Which leads to many of the great fight scenes throughout these films. From what I've read, its because criminals have a tough time getting guns in South Korea. Just wanted to answer that question because it always bothers me when defending these films. See more 08/01/2014 Nice Concept !! Ending very similar to Subramaniyapuram ! See more Read all reviews
