John Wick in South Korean cinema. Just like its name, it has both sweet romance and bitter action movie. Sadly Underrated!
An excellent action movie. Keeps you on the edge
Wow! This film has a bit of everything. An action packed thriller that connects.
I need to rewatch this movie, I now understand the ending after watching an analysis and it all makes sense (yes I'm a dummy)
Well that's basically an asian John wick. A good action movie.
Korean cinema at its finest. Great performances all round
Moving, intelligent and a very adult film. Sharp bouts of violence and amazing presentation really make for an unpredictable ride
Pure brilliance. I can't believe I never heard of this movie until now
Excellent violent crime drama, must see for fans of the genre
Action noire with beautiful OST. Masterpiece of revenge movies. Loved it.
