John Wick in South Korean cinema. Just like its name, it has both sweet romance and bitter action movie. Sadly Underrated!
Excellent violent crime drama, must see for fans of the genre
If this movie was a serie i would watch all of it without hesitation, the action, the drama, the dialogues, outstanding in this movie.
Pure brilliance. I can't believe I never heard of this movie until now
Wow! This film has a bit of everything. An action packed thriller that connects.
An excellent action movie. Keeps you on the edge
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.
The film progresses slowly, but I enjoyed watching the main character's internal conflict.
This movie did for action movies what the Before Trilogy for romance movies.
