2018. Investigating the murder of a compatriot in the Philippines, Detective Ma Sok-to finds out that the guy worked for gangsters running an illegal online casino. Since the honored investigator understands nothing about digital technology, two rookies from the Cybercrime Investigation Department are taken into the team, and an old acquaintance Chang Yi-soo is taken on as a consultant.

User Review
Big and kind Seoul cop Ma Seok-too (Ma Dong-seok) breaks into the world of digital technology: in the Philippines they find the corpse of a young Korean programmer who was illegally held to run an online casino. Ma Seok-toh encounters the dead man's inconsolable mother at the morgue and vows to the woman to find the villains responsible for the boy's death. Since the police captain is physically incapable of breaking his promise, the whole department rushes in to find the culprits. But old-school cops roll their eyes and turn pale when they hear words like “server” or “traffic”, and the mention of the abbreviation VPN begins to give up badges, so to help veteran detectives from the department to combat cybercrime detach young specialists. Ma Seok-toh himself focuses on establishing the identity of the mysterious killer - definitely a brutal and cold-blooded professional.

Each new installment of “Criminal City,” a franchise that launched in 2017, offers viewers a new villain capable of challenging the invincible Ma Sok-to. “Retribution” is no exception, and the role of the final boss here went to Kim Moo-yeol, a versatile Korean star with outstanding physical data. The producer of the franchise Ma Dong-seok had time to work with Moo-yeol in the thriller about the search for a serial killer “Gangster, Cop and the Devil”, where the latter played a cop with a very frivolous approach to work. Actors perfectly sung together and decided not to abolish the tandem - just swapped places. However, in “Criminal City” chemistry between them did not develop, the characters cross paths only a couple of times and without too many words go to mordoboy.

Fights (mostly played by Ma Dong-seok, a former boxer and trainer of MMA fighters) have always been an important part of the success of “Criminal City,” and in the fourth installment, there's no less hand-to-hand violence, but there's more gloss. The camera became more accurate, but simpler, the blows are more powerful, but the action itself now tends to Indian absurdity: Ma Seok-toh to wave his hand, as opponents rubber dolls fly to the other end of the room, instantly repenting in the choice of criminal lifestyle. However, even with Ma Dong-seok's stunning physical form, age is slowly taking its toll, and there are only two truly dynamic fights in “Retaliation”. The film, by the way, does not hesitate to ironize the main character, from the start throwing the cop a task more difficult than investigative work - to climb to the roof of the building without an elevator. His shortness of breath, however, does not prevent Ma Seok-toh in the next frame with his bare hands to break a huge grate and give slaps to young gangsters.

“Criminal City” seems to flirt with the theme of generational conflict, but does not move beyond the banal voicing of the problem. Yes, the old-style cops try not to change phones unnecessarily, because they do not want to manually transfer all the numbers to a new device. Yes, to complete the task of catching the organizers of online casinos have to ask for help from young colleagues. And when they begin to rash terms, Ma Seok-tot co-mates simply removed to their favorite snack bar. However, despite the application, there is no reflection, and the cops deal with criminals the old-fashioned way: with a kind word and fists. And even without much resistance.

The lack of a real threat - the main disadvantage of the fourth part of the crime thriller. Even the main antagonist, throughout the movie, cutting people who fell under the hot hand right and left, coming across the mighty Ma Dong-seok and his team, gives up positions faster than a croupier card. That's why “Retribution” is more like a passing episode of some police series than a full-fledged movie. The pleasure, however, as fans of the series, and fans of old-fashioned action movies about cops, this state of affairs does not deprive. The experience of watching “Criminal City” is like having dinner at your grandmother's house in the countryside: no metropolitan frills, only a pleasant and native home satiety, passing into a slight excessiveness.

Plus, if you dig deeper, Ma Dong-seok's approach to producing (on which the entire franchise rests) inspires respect on a professional level as well. The actor actively attracts almost every new part of “Criminal City” debutant directors, provides work for a lot of compatriots and does not plan to stop. In an interview, Ma Dong-seok compared his brainchild to “Fast and Furious” and said that he plans to bring the total number of films in the series to eight, providing the numbered parts of the endless number of spin-offs. And there is absolutely no reason to question the statements of a man with such powerful hands.
