CJ Entertainment has announced the Blu-ray release of director Cho Beom-gu's The Divine Move, starring Jung Woo-sung, Lee Beom-soo and Choi Jin-hyuk. The film delves deep into the seedy world of underground GO (baduk) gambling rings and one ex-professional player's deep desire to avenge the murder of his brother for which he was framed and sent to prison. Street date is March 17th.
Tae-seok (Jung Woo-sung, The Good, The Bad, The Weird), is an ex-professional baduk player and a fairly good gambler who likes high-stakes games. When Tae-seok's brother gambles his life away in a high stakes game of Go, Tae-seok is wrongfully accused of his murder and sent to prison after he is humiliated and defeated in a gambling game by an underground kingpin, Sal-soo (Lee Beom-soo, Over My Dead Body, Lifting Kingkong). Fighting for his life and yearning to avenge his brother's death, Tae-seok spends several years in jail training non-stop to battle against anyone in the gambling world who stands in the way. When Tae-seok is released from prison, he gathers the best master players of GO to prepare the biggest play for revenge.
The Divine Move is packed with non-stop action from the moment it starts to the closing credits. One of the most brutal and bloody action movies in recent years, it showcases the results of countless hours of training that action movie masters Jung Woo-sung, Lee Beom-soo, and newcomer Choi Jin-hyuk invested in the making of the film. According to director Cho Beom-gu, the aim was "to expand the limit of action spectacles of Korean cinema." The Divine Move is presented, produced and presented by Showbox and Mediaplex, and distributed by CJ Entertainment.
