The Merciless further proves South Korea knows how to make thrillers.
The Merciless, the newest South Korean crime thriller, which will be screening at Cannes this month, now has distribution deals in 85 territories, including France and French speaking territories (with a deal done with ARP), Australia and New Zealand (through JBG Pictures), Taiwan (Movie Cloud), Mongolia (Bloomsbury), the Philippines (Viva Communications) and India (Sony).
Directed by Byun Sung-hyun, the film stars veteran actors Seol Kyung Goo and Kim Hee Won and K-Pop idol Im Si-wan. According to Variety, the film “sees a gangster who partners up with a fearless newbie to take over a gang.” The film’s trailer, below, sees flashy red cars, close-ups on money, guns, and plenty of fight scenes, all while we are told not to “trust people. Trust the circumstances.”
