Courtroom thriller The Client releases stills, sets premiere date

Here’s some more news on The Client, the courtroom
suspense movie with three big stars anchoring the three components of
the taut thriller: prosecutor, defense attorney, and the client. And
judging from these stills, they’re lookin’ good.

A surefire way to make sure we get the maximum conflict out of this
triangle is to cast leading men capable of equal intensity and gravitas,
which you get with Ha Jung-woo (The Chaser), Jang Hyuk (Midas), and Park Hee-soon (Barefoot Dream). Throw in a scene-stealing supporting star — delightfully bizarre Sung Dong-il (Chuno, My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho) — and you’ve got a must-see lineup.

Jang Hyuk is the suspect in a murder case without a body, who is
represented by Ha Jung-woo. Presenting a fierce opposing case is
prosecutor Park Hee-soon, which leads to intense legal clashing as both
lawyers put forth vastly differing arguments. The film promises to keep
audiences guessing all the way to its unpredictable verdict.



The Client is reportedly the first Korean courtroom thriller
to land on movie screens, which suggests that the majority of the
action will be set in the trial itself. That means the acting and
psychological warfare between the two sides will provide most of the
conflict, which could be pretty compelling given solid writing. A
Korean-style A Few Good Men? I can dig it. Now all they need is
to come up with a catchphrase on par with “You can’t handle the truth!”
and they’re all set.

The Client has been set for a late September release.
