6. Inside Men
The year’s biggest commercial surprise comes from Woo Min-ho, previously at the helm of The Spies (one of our Top 5 worst Korean films in 2012). Inside Men features Lee Byung-hun doing what he does best, as a charismatic political fixer in a dark tale of corporate corruption and media manipulation. Tapping into a vein of discontent in Korean society, the film was a deserved hit for all involved, but its terrific mise-en-scene makes it a no-brainer for foreign viewers as well.
