My Wife Is a Gangster 3 is a 2006 action-comedy film from South Korea, directed by Jo Jin-kyu. The movie stars Shu Qi as the main character, Aryong, a female gang boss who is tasked with protecting her gang and her loved ones from numerous threats. The movie is based around Aryong's attempts to secure a deal with a Sicilian mafia in order to expand her gang's operations. This deal however is not easy to come by, and she must go through a number of hardships and battles in order to achieve her goal. Alongside her problems with the Mafia, Aryong also has her hands full dealing with the numerous subordinates in her gang who often seem to be causing more problems than they solve.
Beom-su Lee plays the role of Sae-jeong, a crooked cop who initially seems to show little regard for Aryong or her gang. However, over the course of the film, he slowly begins to understand the complexities of her life and begins to develop feelings for her.
Hyeon-yeong plays the role of Yeon-hee, Aryong's best friend who, after a number of years in America, has returned to Korea with a dark secret. Yeon-hee's presence complicates things for Aryong as she struggles to keep her friend safe, while at the same time, attempting to keep the deal with the mafia on track.
The film is full of action-packed scenes, with car chases, gun fights and knife-wielding assassins all making an appearance. The fight scenes are particularly well-choreographed, featuring a mix of traditional martial arts and modern techniques. The humor in the movie is often slapstick, but it never detracts from the overall feeling of the film.
One aspect of the movie that is particularly noteworthy is its portrayal of gender roles. Aryong, the main character, is a strong-willed and powerful woman who commands respect from both her gang and the men in her life. The movie portrays a world where women can be the decision-makers and leaders, without it seeming unnatural or contrived.
The movie also touches on themes such as loyalty, friendship, and sacrifice. The relationships between the characters are complex and interesting, with all characters undergoing significant personal growth over the course of the film.
The cinematography in the movie is stunning, with a number of scenes shot in beautiful locations such as Seoul and Sicily. The music is similarly well-done, with the score perfectly capturing the mood of the film and adding to the tension during particularly action-packed scenes.
Overall, My Wife Is a Gangster 3 is an enjoyable film that combines action, humor, and a touch of romance. The performances from the cast are great, particularly from Shu Qi who shines as the tough-but-lovable Aryong. If you're a fan of action movies or Korean cinema, then this film is definitely worth checking out.
