Ryoo Seung-Wan will attend the screening.

Packed with sneak attack break dancers, BMX bandits, gibbering junkies and whipped into a frenzy by a hardcore funk-a-licious soundtrack, City of Violence is so thoroughly 80’s that you’d expect to find it on a grindhouse double bill with Death Wish 2, not in a fancy pants film festival. But this stripped-down, old school action flick is from Korea’s master of onscreen mayhem, Ryoo Seung-wan (The Unjust, Dachimawa Lee) who teams up with Korea’s master stuntman and action choreographer, Jung Doo-hong (Tae Guk Ki, The Foul King) to punch out the lights with this two-fisted pulp rocket.
