SYNOPSIS

The critically-acclaimed, award-winning director of The Chaser — Na Hong-jin— brings us his latest brilliant crime drama, the enthralling, action packed thriller The Yellow Sea.

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.

Possibly the most electrifying, edge-of-the-seat crime dramas of present years The Yellow Sea is also the first Korean film to ever receive investment from a major Hollywood studio (Fox International Productions), and directed the hottest young director to come out of Korea in the last 50 years, The Yellow Sea is the film action fans have been craving for years. Na’s director’s cut of the film is proudly presented here for the first time in the west, along with a host of enthralling extras.
