Project Wolf Hunting

What a confusing structure and plot progression…

So much happened, so little made sense. It’s a mix of prison break, enemies cooperation (really short lived), military/medical experiments - and it all feels like a long first episode for a drama. It’s not like the movie did not have a solid ending, the whole plot seems like just a beginning.

First of all I feel scammed. What is Seo In Guk doing in the main cast? If we talk about the actual plot, these are only 2 main characters. Then the whole first half could not exist and it makes no sense it was so long. Literally everything that happens in the first half is more or less inconsequential in the second half. There is an extremely sharp turn and cut as to where the story goes that made me think - so what was the point of watching the first hour?

I saw some people praising the action scenes, but realistically speaking there was maybe one good one closer to the end. The rest was just said “monster” taking everyone down with little to no effort. Yes, the movie was heavy on gore, blood, but it was not really that heavy on proper action. By all means it gave me a slasher vibes.

I don’t want to talk about the set up of the story because… what was it? They did not even try to make it believable. And I’m not even talking about the monster, I’m talking about the cops being idiots. You cannot first claim there are 20 police officers with all 10+ years of experience, to then make them act worse than rookies.

The villain/villains were generic with generic motivations. Comedic in their “evilness”.

Yes, the performances were great, but what’s the point when the story was bad?

Overall, This should have been 2 separate movies, or it should have been two first episodes of the larger show. In current format it’s weak, underdeveloped and confusing (directing an structure, not story wise).

until that ending, i was thinking of rating this 3 stars

well this was "interesting" for lack of a better word, disappointing is a more fitting word & given the cast we got here, will say that again - idk what the writer's/director were thinking - but this was a mess at parts & at others, just illogical b.s.
used to seeing incompetent cops that can't find their head with their own 2 hands, let alone shoot a gun when needed. but can/will lookover most of the glitches - even the plotholes until that whack end - like seriously?!?

Alpha the invincible machine was taken out, in that insiginificant way? why?!? why he the only test subject to get his eyes wired shut?!? how it go from japanese guys doing human experiments, to the test subject runing the show?!? just to make a antiaging drug? and if that wasn't enough, we got that rotten cherry on top (finding out Lee Do Il's son survived) but he being kept locked-up - why? why that CEO keeping the successful experiments confined, to what end?!? and as Lee Do Il doesn't know this fact, why we got this reveal?!? so "they" can make a part 2 - to this mess?!? (ノへ￣、) plz...

pity, this had potential. it was ridiculous with the water-slide of blood used in every kill, let alone the cruelty at how each kill was implemented - overkill IMHO - just revolting (get it, they were bad-guy, still just nauseating). or those exaggerated foot falls of Alpha ¯\_(ツ)_/¯(like plz) so much could've/should've been cut short, so we get more of a story to the main plot. ironically or not the only one i rooted for (even before he came on scene) was Alpha. the rest were meeh (also the one i wanted dead from the start was the nurse (¬‿¬) OMG she got under my skin, i applauded her kill).
anyway like i wrote above, this plot needed to be rewritten, with a clear end & some answers about the main charecter's/plot, that would be appreciated (let alone make this a good movie), as is - it was fine for a 1 off. but still a bummer

very disappointing

This movie is the most fucked up movie I have probably ever seen. I'm never gonna recommend this to anyone unless they want to see a shit ton of blood and gross things. It felt like all they wanted to show us is how they kill people without any mercy. This story had quite a bit of potential but they decided to just fuck everything up by introducing a monster with super strength and killing the main characters??? at least they were the main characters for 3/4th of the movie but at the end, it turned out that they weren't actually that important.. definitely not my cup of tea. it also kind of ended with a cliffhanger that made us question what actually happened.

This was HILARIOUS!

From the thriller category this movie stepped into hilarious trash under the heavy steps of the Alpha boy :'D

And if you support the calim of "never seen anything like this before" then you better watch and read more. The storyline is generic human experiment project (oh puhlease as if we've never seen those) that goes out of hand onboard of a ship and starts a melee.

I've been watching Doom at your service and the feeling of - I know this guy from somewhere - hasn't left me, before it downed on me where I might have seen him and I was right, just with more tattoos and golden teeth. And then realized that I haven't left a review under this movie yet, so I rushed like a bird to share why I was basically rolling laughing while watching.
But funnily, initially I watched this movie thanks to someone's edit on YT short, which had him and Jung So Min, very misleading edit I must say, because if you've seen the movie you know there's nothing between the two.

First part of the movie I'd say I spent in disgust thanks to the idea of creators to make it look disgusting. One is the nightmare of all clean freaks, transporting some knocked out monster in the deepest parts of the ship where everything leaks, seeps and looks yuck including the dude in question. The second one is brutality and the amount of spilled fake blood after the prisoners escape.

But. To me everything started to turn hilarious and I couldn't care less about the idea to make it sappy, include some heartfelt stories etc. The reason for it is:
1) Special effect make-up. The Alpha boy aka walking killing machine looked hilarious to me. To make him look buff the team just crossed the boundry and overplayed themselves. I don't find it looking terrifying, at best it looks comical;
2) Sound effects. The most hilarious moment for me was one - when the door falls on top of a person and the Alpha boy walks on top of the door, his steps were heavy, but they added the sound as if he's wearing iron boots, it was hysterical! :'D Just imagine that boom-boom-boom;
3) Some fight scenes, you'll have to see for yourself.

Oh yeah, I don't mention that all die and some die in a very forced way, as if the screenwriters didn't know what to do and lowered IQ of people to achieve the result.

In general it was nothing more, but an action movie with a lot of fight scenes and blood. The monster is nothing more, but an experimental project to enhance human body to, of course, prolong life and make it stronger, which can also be used as a killing machine. But to make it even more thrilling we have a whole bunch of criminals added to the ship, so you can guess that it's a simple guise for transporting the Alpha boy in the depths of this ship. Criminals find their way out and break out, taking the hold of the ship, the big noise and a bit of blood wake up our bloodthirsty monster, who starts to hunt, kill left and right. I don't think both sides had too much time to think before a bunch of people were simply wiped out, so Seo In Guk's role wasn't that long tbh. The one who surprised me the most was Jung So Min, they managed to let her survive the entire movie, but then she rushes out with a single gun, in the narrow corridor against armed crowd and of course she got shot. I think this surprised me the most. But I must say.. I haven't seen her in a main role, almost always used for something episodic, so I can't say anything about her acting in general, but here she felt bland. I also asked myself why they let her character survive for so long, but tbh her character did little to the story. But in action/thriller movies like this with fights and blood there is no need for some profound acting, you need to be just a little engaging, that's all.
And because I didn't expect much I had my fun, after all I can laugh at trashiness instead of being frustrated or disappointed. And I respect Korean film industry, the growth through years is obvious, there are many remarkable works, if not story-wise, but cinematography-wise. There is still room to grow and I wish them all the best.

Too Bloody

I initially wanted to watch it, but after i saw some clips or basically scrolled through the entire movie, I was utterly Disgusted by the gore and bloody, as someone who cannot handle bloody gore scenes, I dropped this movie as it was too bloody and disgusting, however I loved the actors and actresses and Seo in-Guk acting is Awesome! Unlike the previous roles he played, he managed to act out the character realistically, and honestly i was shocked at how well he was able to portray a villain, but I didn’t really understood the story, like everybody died at the end of the movie except one, like what?! overall it was just too bloody to watch and i suggest that those with a weak stomach or cannot handle blood to not watch it

Intriguing, Gory, Violent, and Unexpected

it's just blood and guts everywhere, which i like, tbh it's so unexpecting to the point that you wont know who's gonna be dead, who's gonna survive, or who's even the main antagonist??but yeah it's chaotic, just the way i like. That seemingly main characters we see, even died at one point, i was even confused who's the mc here, 'cuz i would theorize that it's dayeon and she ended up dying minutes later, like bffr i hated how she died.😓I wish this can have a part 2 tho, we still have many reasons to have a sequel, many other opportunities for the plot, and i want it to be even gorier next time

THIS COMMENT CONTAINS SPOILERS

This movie... I've been waiting for these movies for a long time, then I finally saw it. I was enjoying it, apart from the predictability of the events and the story. The wasted potential of this movie! I'm sorry, because they were going in the right direction and I bet without that not so subtle "plot-twist", it would have been a great movie! The only positive thing is the cast. I mean...
.
.
.
SPOILER
.
.
.
we have Captain America, we have the Winter Soldier, we have the Russian super soldier who escaped from Stranger Things to end up being a parent to the Black Widow, we have a failed Cap America who becomes U.S. Agent because, well... that's how life goes! I think it's more than fair to also have one or more Korean super soldiers! so... i don't know...

and... you put In-Guk and So-Min together, again, and you don't create a crazy story around it!? not necessarily a love story, but anyway! again... wasted potential...

not bad not good

This movie felt so lacking that I got so disappointed at the end. It definitely needs a part 2 because as a highly anticipated movie I expected a lot I guess it wasn't a total flop ,it just felt like a beginning if you get what I am saying.
The characters kept dying even though they were just starting to get some background, I understood that it was kinda like a thriller kind of movie but those that I thought would be the main characters just ended up dying .The ending had the best cliffhanger ever leaving the audience wanting more, just would have made more sense if the part 2 was watched immediately after but we aren't even sure there is going to be a part two.
Excellent acting from Jung so min, Seo in guk and Park ho san was gripping my seat when they came on mmy only issue was with the story/plot.

Poor writing choices killed what could've been a great movie

You had the cast and the budget and yet....... Project Wolf Hunting is a fun watch if you are a Seo In Guk fan but that's about it.
This movie gives you no time to know or like characters before they are killed so in this regard its somewhat like a classic slasher movie however this was clearly not the intended effect as they attempt to make an effort in the last 40 minutes of its run time to give us story and worldbuilding they honestly did not have the time or characters for. Unlike a typical slasher, there are no characters you really want to survive nor want to see die which results in a boring slaughter of sacks of meat rather than people.

Seo In Guk's character, Park Jung Du, makes for a great protagonist the audience is torn between loving or hating however his potential is almost immediately wasted to focus on a character, Lee Do Il, who has somewhat been in Jong du's shadow, this happens so abruptly that they hardly have any time to even build up who Lee Do Il is or why we should find him interesting compared to the characters we had been following. ultimately the actors did fantastic but weren't giving anything great to work with.

Bloody movie

It is a violent and bloody film. It's scary from start to finish and keeps you waiting for what will happen, the way people die is very ruthless and bloody. Seo in guk did a great job with his acting, it was phenomenal and exquisite, I was able to enjoy his character too much, seeing that wild side of him is very gratifying. The cast did a great job too, I congratulate the director for this great movie, I am glad that it has been widely accepted and loved both in Korea and abroad, it deserves many awards, this movie is not suitable for anyone because its genre is very violent, I recommend it 10/10.
