First Images From Choi Min-Sik Starring Thriller NAMELESS GANGSTER

Oldboy star Choi Min-sik anchors the cast of upcoming Korean thriller Nameless Gangster, a crime thriller set amidst the corruption of early 1990s Korea.

Ik-hyeon is a corrupt customs officer who lives off bribes paid by the contraband smugglers. One day, after his financier rats him out, Ik-hyeon is visited by the inspector and faces losing his job. He runs into a group of armed criminals while on patrol and recovers a large lump of heroin. To sell off the drug, Ik-hyeon hooks up with Hyeong-bae who has connections with the Yakuza. He finds out that his liaison is related to him and quickly a partnership is formed; Hyeong-bae helps out Ik-hyeon set up a new business with the drug money, while Ik-hyeon lobbies for his partner through his family connection. However, the partnership turns sour over dealings with a rival organization. Soon after, the government declares war on crime and Ik-hyeon decides to take the opportunity to set up his partner and escape the tightening grip of the law enforcement.

The simple fact that Choi stars in this is reason to pay attention. Not only is he a fabulously talented actor but he is also extremely selective about his roles, making very few missteps along the way. And when the first images look as good as those in the gallery below ... well, all the better.
