After successfully grabbing a rare golden Buddha statue, literally by taking the statue from under the monks' nose, Dong-goo was happy and looking forward to a handsome return by selling the statue. His triumph was short-lived when 'buyers' start to come up and want to get ahold of the statue - including a rich conglomerate head who loves rare artefacts and other national treasures. And his usual main of acquiring those items is through black market dealings. He deals with his associate, an elite curator in the antique art world, Yoon Se-hee, who is not only brilliant but also speaks several languages. 

After completing a task given by Yoon Se-hee, she sees the potential in Dong-goo and offers him a partnership to rob the conglomerate's underground safe. 

In order to pull the heist, Dong-goo starts assembling some famous and legendary grave robbers from all over the country to assist him with the job. In the middle of the planning, Dong-goo realises that his current paymaster is the guy who killed his father and left him, a little boy then,  to die underground with his rotting father beside him.

Will he deliver the task or will he take revenge?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.0/ 5.0 I see glimpses of Indiana Jones and The Ocean's Eleven throughout the movie - I can't help it as I grew up watching the first and came to love the latter. 

Was it a great movie? Nah. 

Was it fun? Yes - it was fun, witty and funny! I had a great laugh watching it till the end.  

Cast: 4.3/ 5.0 Again, I don't know the actors but from what I saw in the movie, they were great. 

Will I watch it again: Yes, sure. 

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.
