Asura: The City of Madness

Detective Han (Jung Woo-sung of The Good, the Bad, the Weird) has been engaged in shady activities ever since his wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Faced with accumulating medical bills, Han has decided to hand in his badge and work for Annam's Mayor, Park Sung-bae (Hwang Jung-min, last seen at the Festival in Veteran). Mayor Park wants to push through a multi-million-dollar development contract, and will go to any lengths to ensure expediency so long as Han does the dirty work. But Han's involvement in two sticky cases, the disappearance of a high-profile witness and the strange death of a fellow officer, garners him sudden unwanted attention. And as Internal Affairs possesses evidence of Han's misdeeds, he has no choice but to covertly work for both sides - and place himself in twice the danger. (Toronto International Film Festival)
