We’ve got a trailer to share with you for an intense-looking Korean crime-thriller titled The Beast. The film is a remake of the French thriller 36 Quai des Orfèvres, and the story centers on two detectives in conflict who have to team up to solve a gruesome murder.
After the mutilated body of a missing girl is discovered in the tidelands of Incheon, Han-soo (Lee Sung-min: The Spy Gone North) and Min-tae (Yoo Jae-myung), who have been rivals for years, are now in charge of finding the culprit.The case seems like it will find a quick resolution with a suspect in custody, but things take a dark turn when Han-su meets an informant ( who insists that he knows who the murderer is. As cover-ups and secret deals ensue, tension rise between the two detectives as the pressure of solving a crime is shaking up the Korean peninsula comes to a head.
The movie looks like a great, dark, and complex twisted crime thriller that will be filled with twists and turns. It’s definitely the kind of movie I’d be interested in checking out.
The Beast originally opened in Korea last summer, and will get a direct-to-VOD release on April 6th.
