The Chaser

The Chaser

by Na Hong-Jin

Joong-Ho used to be a cop, but these days he’s working the rainy streets of Seoul as a whoremonger. But pimpin ain’t easy, especially when all the call girls seem to be scamming him out of his share. As it turns out, they’re not cheating: they are being murdered by one of the kerb-crawlers.

Joong-Ho becomes obsessed with finding the killer, and turns the South Korean capital upside down in his violent quest for vengeance. The Chaser is a fast and frightening trip down insanity lane, impressively packaged in a stylish, dark environment.
