“The movie is an inspiring story of a law-abiding conservative manu0026#39;s courageous fight against the tyranny of the judicial system of his country (South Korea). Some may see it as an idealization of a manu0026#39;s vice, but revolution always comes when such people stand against oppression.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movieu0026#39;s tagline, u0026quot;Law Abiding Accused vs Law Abusing Judgesu0026quot;, is quite apt. In a country where judges are not elected, and are appointed based on the results of a common law exam (regardless of formal education), thereu0026#39;s no participation of the public at all, even as a jury. Such a state makes it vulnerable to corruption and mistrust.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movieu0026#39;s lead character, Kim Kyung-Ho (actual, Myung-Ho), is defined quite well, and is portrayed brilliantly by Sung-kee Ahn. The remaining characters are interesting as well, and keep the story going.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere isnu0026#39;t a single dull moment. Both the initial and the main cases are quite intriguing.”
