Show more >> 지옥에서 온 판사 is an ambitious film that tries to tackle heavy themes but sometimes stumbles along the way. The premise is intriguing, with a ruthless judge and a righteous detective, but the execution feels uneven. While the performances are solid, especially from the detective, the judge's character could have been fleshed out more to avoid falling into cliché.

If you're in the mood for a legal drama, it might be worth your time, but don't expect a masterpiece. Show less
