A complex, cynical tale of corruption and self interest, Ryoo Seung-Wan's The Unjust pits a pair of coldly amoral protagonists into a spiral of ever escalating violence and subterfuge in a no holds barred contest of survival and self interest. By turns polished to a glimmering sheen and brutal in its gritty depiction of violence, The Unjust also boasts a surprising edge of pitch-black comedy, It's a twisty, turny affair, one that doesn't revel in the depths of human depravity as much as it simply takes the willingness to sacrifice anything and anyone for one's own benefit as a given. Nobody is clean in this world, not by a long shot, the only question is who will be the last man standing and at what cost.
