Nowhere to Hide Directed by Lee Myung-Se Viewed at the San Francisco International Film Festival Hustling through some back alleyway, narrowly avoiding a chair thats been thrown from a second-story window. He picks up the chair and as he turns the corner he sets the chair down and installs himself. He is just in time to catch the show some hoods are beating the crap outta some older guy. The dozen toughs ask him what hes looking at
Im here to arrest you scum! They laugh and as they start towards him, he throws his chair and just as he starts kickin "a", his backup team joins in the fun. Meet detective Woo and his "gang" of cops, as he tries to keep the underworld "under" in the Korean port city of Inchon. In this movie by Korean director Lee Myung Se, his sixth (he also wrote this story) we get a beautifully textured and sometimes subtle cat and mousey. Great visuals and much movement has detective Woo looking everywhere to catch drug lord and killer Chang Sung Min (played by Ahn Sung-Ki). The film revolves around detective Woo and his solitary lifestyle, his aggressiveness and his tenacity like a mad dog, he is after Chang Sungmin who has nowhere to hide
