Pick a side…
An undercover police officer investigating a powerful Korean crime ring is torn between his duty to uphold the law, and his loyalty to the criminal who trusts him implicitly in this tense crime thriller. Under the watch of his superior Kang, devoted cop Ja-sung embarks on a clandestine mission to infiltrate the powerful “Gold Moon” crime syndicate. Eight years later, he's become part of the organization's inner circle by establishing a powerful bond with Jung Chung, the group's powerful second-in-command. When the head of the criminal outfit dies suddenly, however, the resulting internal power struggle threatens to destroy the syndicate, and dissolve the investigation. Now, Ja-sung must make a decision that will show where his true loyalties lie, and that could very well cost him his career, if he doesn't pay with his life, first.

New World Movie Reviews
""New World" is both less bloody and more thoughtful than most of its genre, the shifting-alliances plot becoming more engrossing as it progresses." New York Times
“No one in American movies has made a crime opera this good in years.” Salon
“Gangster-movie fanatics should take note: New World dishes out enough of the genre's oldest pleasures to make it worthwhile.” Time Out New York
“Tense, dark, violent and brilliantly acted, if New World is any indication of what's in store for the future of the Asian cop drama; harder, sharper, yet finessed and even elegant, then carry on Korea.” The Diva Review
