Remember the action film " The Legend of the Wild " directed by Korean director Lee Won-tae before 2019? The movie is starring Ma Dong-suk, Kim Mo-yeol , and Kim Sung-gyu. The story describes a gangster boss joining forces with the police, Hei-White, to hunt down a violent serial killer.
According to foreign media Deadline, Paramount Pictures will now remake the crime thriller movie "The Evil Showdown", and Ma Dongshi will continue to perform the terrifying role of the gangster boss in the Hollywood version.
"The Legend of the Wild" plot is adapted from a serial murder case in South Korea, describing the gangster boss Zhang Dongxiu (played by Ma Dongshi) being targeted by a random murderer one day and becoming the other's prey. Although Zhang Dongxiu is extraordinary, she is still stabbed and seriously injured. This unexpected night implicates Zhang Dongxiu and the policeman Zheng Tae-seok (played by Kim Mo-yeol), who cannot show his skills, and the two agree to share resources to pursue the murderer together.
South Korea has always been good at creating criminal movies, and the plot is supplemented by the elements of the gangster boss, using black and white to strengthen the plot tension, creating suspense that should be created in a series of murder cases, and is matched with the human portrayal of unknown good and evil and the personal charm of the actors. The overall movie is full of entertainment.
mentions actors, especially Kim Sung-gyu, who plays the murderer. He has worked with Ma Dong-suk in " Crime Urban " and plays the gangster Yang Tae. But what is impressive is Yong-shin, the subordinate of the martial arts master of , Ju Ji-hoon, in "The Legend of the Evil", in which he changes a lot and turns into a taciturn murderer. Just using his eyes makes people shudder, perfectly interpreting pure evil.

Topic returns to Ma Dongshi. Although he is the boss of the underworld in the movie, his usual image as a tough guy is not much different from the previous "Crime City", "Not Selling Products" and "Evil Neighbor Layout". Sometimes he shows his face and sometimes he has a cold face and a strong sense of existence.
"Crime City 2"
Previously, Ma Dongshi had already entered the Marvel Universe as the "Eternal" warrior "Gilgamesh", which is definitely not unfamiliar to Hollywood audiences. This remake of "Extreme Evil Showdown", Ma Dongshi plays the Hollywood version of the gangster boss, and I believe it will bring sparks different from the Korean version. Hollywood audiences can finally see Ma Dongshi's tough guy charm, which is different from the hard-hearted tenderness of "Eternal".
