Ma Dong Seok ( Train to Busan) & Yoon Kye Sang ( Poongsan) face off in the rip-roaring crime action blockbuster The Outlaws, which is inspired by a real-life turf war that rattled Seoul in 2007. Known as the Heuksapa Incident, the gang war involved a crime syndicate in Garibong, a neighborhood populated by many ethnic Koreans from China. Yoon Kye Sang makes a gritty turn as the notorious mobster from China, while Ma Dong Seok plays the angry cop who is determined to take him down. The Outlaws won writer-director Kang Yoon Sung the Best New Director prize at the 54th Baeksang Arts Awards & the 37th Korean Association of Film Critics Awards.
Jang Chen (Yoon Kye Sang), a seasoned gangster from Harbin, China, arrives in Seoul & soon single-handedly muscles his way to the top. He takes over the Venom gang & ruthlessly takes down other bosses to seize control of the Garibong neighborhood. However, tough detective Ma Seok Do (Ma Dong Seok) is just as willing to use his fists to clean up his district.
