Review of Igeoshi beobida

THIS IS LAW is too uneven for its own good, but even so the presence of an attractive leading lady and some funny bits save the film from being a complete disaster. The cop angle is not all that exciting, and the movie would probably have worked better as a straight comedy instead of being parts comedy and parts drama. Also, the lead character is a bit childish, coming across as a 10-year old boy with a schoolgirl crush instead of a cop.

All in all, not a bad movie. It could have been better, of course, but then so could a lot of other films.

5 out of 10
