Honorable Mentions

Best of 2018

10. The Drug King

One of the last big releases of 2018 was also one of the year’s best. Based on true events, The Drug King chronicle’s the ten year rise and fall of a legendary drug kingpin in 1970’s Korea. Where the film lacks in coherent storytelling as it suffers from a bloated cast, it more than makes up for with its electrifying performances and dazzling visual flair. Song Kang-ho is a tour de force from start to finish.
