Any film which has the cream of the crop in the acting world of that country it's always going to be a big box office smash like Choi Dong-hun's THE THIEVES which has the best of South Korean Cinema.Kim Yun-seok (The Chaser), Gianna Jun ( My Sassy Girl), Lee Jeong-jae (The Housemaid remake), Kim Hye-soo (Tazza) and Oh Dal-su. This one was filmed across various locations in Asia and the cast reflects that with HKG Star Simon Lam, Angelica Lee aslo starrring. First impressions this looks like a Korean version of Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's 11 however director Dong-Hun was quick to dismiss that claim stating this one is more character driven.
Once Macao Park (Kim Yun-Seok) and Pepsee (Kim Hye-Soo) pulls off their next big heist the couple plans marry. But, while pulling off their heist, there is a mysterious crash. Pepsi winds up going to prison, while Macao Park leaves for Macau. Pepsi is then released from prison on a special pardon given on a special day. Pepsi, Popie (Lee Jung-Jae) and Enicall (Gianna Jun) then travel to Macau to steal a diamond worth 42 billion Won ($37 million USD). In Macau, the group runs into Macau Park who they thought went missing.
July 25th is when this summer blockbuster will hit South Korean cinemas nationwide but word from the street is that Showbox/CineAsia have picked up the UK/International rights which means we can enjoy the film too! Check out the new full trailer courtesy of our friends at Twitch
