Going By The Book Synopsis (from http://www.koreanfilm.or.kr)
A string of bank robberies puts the public in a panic and they demand action from the newly appointed police chief to crack down on the perpetrators. In order to appease the residents of the city and carry out his own ambitions, the police chief appoints naive traffic cop JUNG Do-man to infiltrate the world of the robbers.
My comments:
Just a little correction from the above synopsis. Do Man was appointed the role of the robber for a highly publicized training to gain back confidence of the public instead of "infiltrating the world of robbers" as mentioned above...
I find Going By The Book a fun and cool movie! Do Man told his boss that he’ll regret his decision by appointing Do Man as the robber, I bet the boss really did… I had a lot of LOL moments at how Do Man outsmart the cops. Well, don’t take it seriously because in the movie, the cops, the SWAT team and even the negotiator look bad and incompetent. All along, I was worrying if Do Man is so into his role as a robber that he will go for real at the end. But the again, he always says, "If I'm a real robber..." so there's not much to worry. You'll wonder how will he get away from it. Quite speechless at how Do Man chooses to end the training but everything is resolved in a satysfying way. It surely is a happy ending!
