Going by the Book
Always give it your best even for a robbery.
Directed by Ra Hee-chan
Produced by Film It Suda, Barunson E&A
A lighthearted comedy about a rigid, rule-following cop whose earnestness during a bank robbery simulation spirals into chaos, celebrating both dedication and the absurdity of taking things too seriously.
The chief of Sampo City Police Office, Seung-u, organizes a simulation of a bank robbery, but a by-the-book cop gets too caught up in the role playing in which the simulation doesn't go the way he had anticipated.
