Tazza series' final installment, Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub, the renowned Chuseok series, promised a dopamine-pumping crime-entertainment genre.
Heo Yeong-man's original Tazza series' final Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub (director: Choi Guk-hee, distributor: CJ ENM, provider/producer: Sidus) is a crime film in which Jang Tae-young (Byun Yo-Han), who thought he had it all through his online Big Bet business, and his close friend with the same name Park Tae-young (Roh Jae Won), who took everything from him, meet again on a global gambling stage and engage in a final game of revenge.
Tazza, one of Korea's most beloved entertainment films, returns after seven years in a completely new form, with a new story, new spirit and grit, and has attracted attention by releasing crime-entertainment stills that offer a variety of genre pleasures.
The released stills show a bloodied and bound Jang Tae-young (Byun Yo-Han), drawing attention. The shocking visuals foreshadow the worst situation that befalls him. The images also show people moving up and down the gambling scenes and a global gambling stage that spans Korea, Japan and Vietnam. The sight of influential figures from each country gathering in one place to wager huge sums and compete conveys a differentiation from previous works.
The strange tension between Jang Tae-young and Kaneko (Miyoshi Ayaka) is also a viewing point. Kaneko, who designed the high-stakes gambling scene, and Jang Tae-young, who stepped into that arena, join forces despite knowing each other's aims. Kaneko standing alone in front of a car at midnight shows the presence of the architect of this gambling scene.
Here, acting genius Roh Jae Won's Park Tae-young promises the birth of a character completely different from previous Tazza films. Park Tae-young's jealousy when his best friend has everything he wants is expected to resonate with audiences. Finally, Gwak Dong-wook (Jo Woo-jin), wearing a wig as he gets into a car, and Jang Tae-young provoke curiosity about what kind of gambling they will stage in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub opens on Sep. 23.
