Where to Watch Asura: The City of Madness
- LimimiNovember 23, 2025Imagine a Max Payne fan film and a The Wire fan film had a uniquely Korean baby, mixing Max Payne's 'pastiche right up to the point of parody' cargo-cult noir with The Wire's gritty rotting-city visuals, themes of corruption and nihilism and narrative of smiling backstabbing and violence, and filtering it through Korea's unique (with unique flaws and caveats) criminal justice system. Highly recommended.
