Penguin Project: Guns & Talks

Another allstar cast with the likes of Shin Hyeon-Jun (Marrying the Mafia 2, 3, 4), Shin Ha-kyun (All About My Romance), Won Bin (The Man From Nowhere), and Jung Jae-young (Going By The Book).

"In the middle of downtown Seoul, mysterious bombings and murders are taking place. Four men leave a crime scene, skillfully evading the police. This eccentric band of killers consists of team leader Sang-yeon (Shin Hyun-joon), bomb specialist Jung-woo (Shin Ha-kyun), sniper Jae-young (Jung Jae-young), and computer hacker Ha-yoon (Won Bin). These hitmen believe they're doing a vital job in society, just like any other profession. They run a private business where people from all walks of life come to them and place an order. After they meet their clients and discuss the time, place and method by which they want their targets to be eliminated, they sign a formal contract. They even have a discount rate for students. Once the deal is done, they carry out their mission and finish it like a typical day at work. The four live and work together in mundane harmony, eating Ha-yoon's bad cooking and watching their crush (Go Eun-mi) read the news on TV. One day, a persistent high school girl (Gong Hyo-jin) shows up at their door and keeps trying to hire them, while Jung-woo falls for his target, a pregnant woman (Oh Seung-hyun). Then Sang-yeon gets approached for a big job he can't turn down, one far riskier than what they're used to. The client wants someone killed in the middle of a sold-out Hamlet play with high-profile businessmen, politicians and law officers in attendance. Meanwhile, the determined and intelligent prosecutor Jo (Jung Jin-young) is on to them, and mobilizes the police force to catch them in the act." - Wikipedia

Sang-yeon (Shin Hyun-joon) is the leader of the group and thus acts as the big brother. He like the other guys have a crush on a famous female anchor. Everyone in the house will sit down and watch the news when she is on. He cares for his "younger" brothers and always talk to them about the details of the job. He is tough but gentle at the same time making him a great leader.

Ha-yoon (Won Bin) the youngest "brother" and serves as the teams computer hacker despite the fact he wants to take a more violent role. He is dissatisfied but still respects his elder "brothers" to never betray them nor ignore their wishes. Also serves as the cook but he is very poor at it.

Jae-young (Jung Jae-young) serves as the team sniper with clears eyes but dirty mouth. He is very careful and never rushes to take the shot. When he is ready he will hit the mark every time.

Jung-woo (Shin Ha-kyun) is the bomb expert and the de facto second leader of the group. He follows through on any order he receives until he meets a pregnant woman that he falls in love with and eventually successfully woos.

Truly a very good action comedy that fears an all star cast. Won Bin would eventually become internationally known with his appearance in The Man From No Where. Yet in this film he is unexperienced and you can tell. Its a wonder what eight years could do to someone.
All the other guys took less time to become popular and have an experience that helps the story seem more realistic. I enjoyed the plot, it was good that's rare in a comedy action film where the main characters are a band of killers.

I suggest this films that like realistic action films that have a bit of comedy in the mix.
