What's not to love? Insane levels of violence and Lee Ho-Jung's C cup! Gripping non stop momentum that shifts from tension to action to tension over and over again. No * scenes but oodles of over the top Korean violence.
Korean thriller movies are giving me what Hollywood is missing these past few years. Hollywood turned to superhero movies while Korea comes out with original movies that are rare nowadays. And you won't be disappointed if you like Korean thriller. It's not perfect. Some situations are super dumb. But all that matter is that you'll spend a good time watching this.
Competent thriller that left me baffled whether i should look up more on protagonist or antagonist. Pil Gam-sung's directorial debut got some intense fight and car chase scenes while enhanced by Jung-min's credible acting as a fanfiction character.
Definitely the best action thriller I have seen in 2021. I found it riveting from start to finish. Unlike Hollywood movies this South Korean flick keeps it real. Superb acting, and fast paced entertainment.
I was not excpecting much But even though it was boring and have a lot of cliche Acting is poor as well ( over acting ) Do not waste your time. The events was unrealistic. The story is waek and diposable.
I like Korean movies, which have an important place in world cinema. The performances of the actors are very good... It's a breathtaking adrenaline filled movie... You should definitely watch.
