The film is set in 1990, when South Korean President Lu Taiyu issued 10. 13 "Declaration on Combating Crime and Violence", which tells the story of blood and violence in the process of sweeping criminal forces in Busan at that time.
In 20 12, Cui Minzhi won the 33rd Korean Film Qinglong Award-Best Actor Award 1982, Busan.
Cui Yixian, a customs tax collector who takes bribes from smugglers for a living, is facing the unemployment crisis and wants to make great efforts before being fired. He specially contacted Cui Xiangpei, the young leader of Busan's largest underworld organization, with the intention of uniting Busan's underworld. With excellent adaptability and innate affinity, Cui Yixian has won the trust and attention of Cui Xiangpei, and his cooperation is intimate and his influence is becoming more and more unstoppable.
In the 1990s, in order to eliminate the underworld forces, then President Lu Taiyu announced the declaration of 10. 13, proposing the policy of "waging war on crime and violence". Cui Shuang gradually betrayed each other in the process of police sweeping criminal forces. In order to survive, two people launched a fierce confrontation ... who can laugh at the end? [1] After the 1980s, South Korea entered a period of vigorous development, creating a "miracle of the Hanjiang River" that shocked the world. At the same time of economic revitalization, social security is also facing severe tests. Gangster forces come and go all over the country, and there are endless exchanges of fire, which seriously affects social stability. 1990, Lu Taiyu, then president, resolutely issued the Declaration of10/3, declaring "going to war with crime", increasing the pressure on the dark forces, restoring social order, and the arrogance of local underworld organizations began to cool down. There are also many underworld leaders who put on legal clothes and turn to personal careers, such as investing in the construction demolition industry to make profits. In the past, the leaders of the underworld organizations, known as the "three big families" in Seoul, were basically washed away, but the underworld organizations in various regions are still active in the local area.
It is this historical period that is taken as the background of the film, which tells the human nature challenges faced by Busan, which is surrounded by evil forces. Director Jong-bin Yun has previously made films full of masculinity, such as "Unforgettable Tonight" and "Beast Boy", which are mainly male works full of violent aesthetics. Since the films such as Seoul Robbery, Dirty Street, Sweet Life, and My Wife is the Big Boss were widely praised, the gangster theme has also been played incisively and vividly by Korean filmmakers. In addition to absorbing the advantages of Hong Kong films and American films, it has also derived its own "Korean flavor", which perfectly combines grievances, blood, violence, swearing, action and even love. The War with Crime: The Badminton's heyday incorporates elements of Korean gangs, especially highlighting the conflicts between characters and the background of the times. At the same time, it presents an exciting picture, turning a group of "bad guys" into a "wind and cloud" of flesh and blood.
