The 2012 Korean action\/thriller Howling<\/strong><\/em> proves that in a lot of cases, the bite is worse than its bark. A crime film about the underbelly of the dog fighting world is unique enough to make it a new favorite. However there is a downside. The cops in Korea are highly misogynistic and work overtime to let their new female teammate know she is very unwelcome. <\/p>\n Howling<\/em><\/strong> is based on a Japanese novel that was released in 1996: The Hunter by Asa Nonami, it may well be set in the late 90\u2019s as well. Although the sentiment displayed by the majority of the detective team feels like something from the 1970\u2019s.<\/p>\n New detective Eun-yeong is paired with veteran detective Sang-gil. Due to an unfair point system in the police department, Sang-gil keeps being passed over for promotion. He is given a case where the victim apparently has killed himself via immolation. Eun-yeong thinks otherwise and the unlikely pair start investigating. <\/p>\n Soon, the case takes a bizarre turn and the two end up fighting for their lives and careers. <\/p>\n Song Kang<\/a>-ho<\/a> is Det Sang-gil.<\/p>\n Lee Na-young<\/a> is Det Eun-yeong.<\/p>\n Nam Bo-ra<\/a> is Jung-na.<\/p>\n Shin Jeong-geun<\/a> is the Chief Detective. <\/p>\n The casting of Song Kang-ho, who is a personal favorite since spotting him in the 1998 comedy horror The Quiet Family<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, makes Howling<\/strong><\/em> almost compulsive viewing for me. This actor, who was not classically trained, is head and shoulders above his contemporaries. Kang-ho makes any film he is in a complete treat. <\/p>\n \nThe Story<\/h4>\n
