parts or acting? The lead characters were, imo, the opposite of it.

they were played. You think American police don't rough up suspects?
The key players were very good. The chief detective, the on-loan detective from Seoul, the suspect--- all perfectly played. And the direction? Magnificent master class in tension-building w/out resorting to hackneyed techniques, ultra-violence. SPOILER
Most importantly, no super cop bullshit to solve the case, possibly a first in the genre. The ending was unexpected and brilliant.
Jackie Chan? I saw no wonder-cops whippin' up on dozens of extras or anything of the kind. I did see a cop with serious problems, a guy who was depicted as a fuck-up, who regularly beat and mistreated suspects to elicit a confession. Perhaps you have a problem with Koreans using martial arts, in general.
