2008’s international box office sensation, ‘The Chaser’, is being remade by the team that brought you “The Departed”. But there’s only ever one original! Ex-detective-turned-pimp Jung-ho’s night is getting messy. Convinced his girls are running out on him, he sends one of his last remaining girls, Mi-jin, on a desperate last minute job. Too late, however, he makes a bone chilling discovery: this customer’s home is where all his missing girls were last sent. Fearing the worst, Jung-ho’s relentless pursuit of Mi-jin ends in a terrifying chase through the city streets after a car crash throws a blood spattered suspect into his path. Calling in old favours, Jung-ho is certain he has caught this ruthless killer. But despite a disturbing confession, the lack of evidence means this cold-hearted psychopath might soon be freed by the bureaucratic police force. If he is to find Mi-jin is still alive, Jung –ho, armed with few clues but filled with street-smart and savage determination, has just 12 hours to find the killer’s lair, before he is set free to end her life and continue his reign of terror.
