Gu-nam is a desperate gambler and debt-ridden taxi driver living in Yanji City — a region that has adjoining borders to North Korea, China and Russia. His wife fled to South Korea six months ago and he hasn’t heard from her since. In order to repay his debts and attempt to find his wife this mild, unassuming man accepts a contract killing from local gangster Myun-ga. Crossing the dangerous Yellow Sea to Seoul he seeks out both his target and wife, but soon finds himself in the middle of a deadly conspiracy of lies, deceit and betrayal. Before he can fulfill the contract he witnesses others murder his target. Fleeing the scene, he is not only being pursued by the police, but those responsible. (Eureka Entertainment)

A top Korean thriller that belongs to the TOP 5 gritty thrillers! I can only see one issue with The Yellow Sea and that's the very long running time, but those who can still get through it are in for a very cold, gritty, raw and bleak ride! The final half hour with the knives and axes is such carnage that even the most demanding viewer will be satisfied. A solid affair. 80%.
