Extreme Job (2019)

A squad of hopeless narcotics detectives buys a failing fried chicken joint as a stakeout front, and then their chicken becomes the most popular in town. That one premise explains every scene of this 2019 South Korean action comedy: the cops are too busy frying orders to catch anyone. The humor is broad, quick and physical, with kitchen chaos and clumsy brawls doing as much work as the Korean dialogue. It sold more than four million tickets in its first eight days at home, a good sign of how widely it plays.
