The other day I was on TikTok and I came across a clip from a movie that looked pretty interesting and I was lucky enough to find it available on YouTube, I guess it's because it's pretty old, so I assume many of you have already seen it or maybe not. To start off when I saw the episode there was a man offering an umbrella to a girl so she wouldn't get wet, then the girl gets on the bus and later the same guy is with a bunch of people in a living room watching TV and when a news report comes on the man stays to watch all the scenes and when he saw the same umbrella in the crime scene everyone quickly went out to look for something. From the scene I assumed they moved to look for the girl, but the episode ended there, then I saw the name and it caused even more interest in me to go and watch it.
El gángster, el policía y el diablo al parecer es una película inspirada en hechos reales pero con modificación en escenas, personajes y lugares.
Todo inicia por un asesino que al parecer no tiene contemplación a la hora de escoger a sus víctimas, aunque en principio el policía Jung tenía algo de sospecha de que se trataba de un mafioso, el cual era algo imposible de tocar porque su jefe, el encargado de la policía trabajaba para dicho personaje.
La historia tiene un giro cuando el jefe de la mafia Dong soo es atacado por el asesino, quien tenía intenciones de matarlo, pero no tuvo éxito porque se produjo un enfrentamiento entre ambos que causo que también saliera herido. Aunque el mafioso envió a su gente para que lo ubicaran, no tuvo exíto al igual que el policía, quien estaba empeñado en dar con la persona para así poder cerrar el caso.
En vista de que el departamento de policía no respaldaría la investigación que Jung estaba realizando y en vista de que Dong Soo sería el único sobreviviente con la posibilidad de reconocer la identidad del hombre que intento matarlo, lo que lo lleva hasta la habitación del hospital para presentarle la propuesta de unirse para dar con la pista del asesino, aunque a principio Dong Soo no tenía la más mínima idea de hacerlo no tiene otro remedio que realizar una colaboración con la policía pero bajo sus condiciones.
The gangster, the policeman and the devil is apparently a film inspired by real events but with modifications in scenes, characters and places.
It all starts with a murderer who apparently has no contemplation when it comes to choosing his victims, although at first the policeman Jung had some suspicion that it was a mobster, which was something impossible to touch because his boss, the police manager worked for that character.
The story has a twist when the mob boss Dong soo is attacked by the assassin, who had intentions to kill him, but did not succeed because a confrontation between the two ensued, causing him to get hurt as well. Although the mobster sent his people to locate him, he was unsuccessful, as was the policeman, who was determined to find the person in order to close the case.
In view of the fact that the police department would not support Jung's investigation and that Dong Soo would be the only survivor with the possibility of recognizing the identity of the man who tried to kill him, which leads him to the hospital room to present him with the proposal of joining forces to find the killer, although at first Dong Soo did not have the slightest idea of doing so, he has no choice but to collaborate with the police but under his conditions.
Hay una escena donde el Jung el policía se baja del auto de su compañero para entrar a un establecimiento clandestino haciendo alborotos que en principio pensaba que desde allí se resolvería algún crimen u obtendría alguna pista, pero resulta que todo eso era solo para encontrar a alguien que lo llevara hasta la escena del crimen cosa que vi como algo exagerado. Lo otro es que se hacía evidente que ese era su primer caso serio o así lo hacen ver porque hubo un momento que estaba con Dong Soo en un lugar donde fueron atacados y al finalizar que todos los "malos" murieron, a Jung le dio como un shok de ver como morían y creo que hasta lo dejo algo perturbado la escena. Hasta luego asisten a un caso para hacer un rescate que fue muy obvio la inexperiencia que tenían.
Sin embargo, y creo que fue la escena que más me gusto, que es donde Jung luego negocia con Dong Soo para que se presente en el juzgado a declarar contra el asesino y lo que en principio parecía traición, luego se volvió una complicidad en el que ambos saldrían beneficiados.
There is a scene where Jung the cop gets out of his partner's car to enter a clandestine establishment making a ruckus that in principle thought that from there he would solve some crime or get some clue, but it turns out that all that was just to find someone to take him to the scene of the crime which I saw as something exaggerated. The other thing is that it was evident that this was his first serious case or so they make it seem because there was a moment when he was with Dong Soo in a place where they were attacked and at the end that all the "bad guys" died, Jung was shocked to see how they died and I think he was even a little disturbed by the scene. Even later they attend a case to make a rescue that was very obvious the inexperience they had.
However, and I think it was the scene I liked the most, where Jung then negotiates with Dong Soo to appear in court to testify against the murderer and what at first seemed like betrayal, then became a complicity in which both would benefit.

Algo que me pasaba a mí es que me era difícil identificar quienes eran los policías y quienes los que trabajaban para el mafioso, pero si te digo que las peleas que se presentaban allí, la intimidación y un poquito de suspenso que podía ver estuvieron buenos y dieron un toque elegante a la película. Yo le doy una puntuación de 7/10 y si ya la viste me gustaría que comentarás que te pareció?
Something that happened to me is that it was difficult to identify who were the cops and who were the ones working for the mobster, but I can tell you that the fights that were presented there, the intimidation and a little bit of suspense that I could see were good and gave an elegant touch to the movie. I give it a score of 7/10 and if you have already seen it I would like you to comment on what you thought?
