We’re watching Blood Rain, a murder mystery set in early 19th century Korea. Two inquisitors are sent by the king to an island of the coast, to investigate the sabotage of a ship full of tribute that burned the night before it set sail for the mainland.
After the inquisitors arrive, a series of murders, echoing the brutal executions of a wealthy man (accused of practicing Catholicism) and his family seven years earlier, begin. And the inquisitors are now unraveling a plot to hide an old crime.
Great story about the conflict between the desire to find the truth and to keep it hidden. Oh, and there’s violence, not gratuitous, not for the squeamish. Great movie.
