South Korea rocks the house once again with A Dirty Carnival.  This is a great gangster movie.  I particularly liked the fight sequences.  These particular gangs fight with knives and just maim each other.  It's considered bad form to actually kill a rival gangster.  There are lots of torturous hamstringing* and stuff.

The movie was a lot of fun, there was a movie within the movie and a good kid/bad kid from the neighborhood relationship.  Pretty typical stuff, but done very well.

* From dictionary.com, "to disable by cutting the hamstring or hamstrings; cripple."
