Brilliant plot with gory violence
This drama has a Brilliant plot & excellent lead acting, BUT it's also got alot of Graphic gory violence. This ended up being a turn off. The End twist is awesome is awesome. The actors all do well, and the action scenes are kinda cool. Again there is the line between good guys & villains that seem indistinctWas this review helpful to you?
Seon Ho carrying it all without a doubt..although even he was just above average
Bro, this killer is so handsome. Like what is this.Rather than psycho, he seems more of a Joker type of killer --there is no meaning to it, it is my job. He is funny and pro, as he likes to emphasize.
Well, the story had an interesting premise but ultimately no meaning. I thought the ending might hit us with an interesting twist but it did not deliver.
If there is part two I will watch it for Seon Ho's wild smile as this character. I think he could have shone even more if the script was better.
Ultimately, it is a fine action movie if you want to mindlessly pass time with an action movie. It is a genre of comedy-action, there is no emphasis on any themes or sense of seriousness. But then Seon Ho was not crazy enough for this genre I believe.
Nonetheless, a recommend.
Thanks for reading.

Simple is sometimes best
People say you need complex stories to get a decent show and this movie clearly shows you, you don't.I like how it showed the reality of being poor and how far you would go for what you want.
The nobleman was my favourite character with his witty remarks and his obsession with his hair and how much he loves his car.

Unhinged and exciting performance of Kim Seon Ho, you might never see him the same way ^O^
This very gore action movie took me by surprise. I found it pretty good on some aspects: pacing, some great actions sequences with some shocking moments with disturbingly big amounts of blood. Where it missed slightly the mark for me was in terms of characters likeability. Everyone is kind of detestable so I was not very invested in the survival of anyone. The man hunt was still pretty entertaining but would have been better if I care about the protagonist being chased.I watched this film for Kim Seon Ho and was not expecting to see him in such a different role. He did not disappoint and provide a very good performance playing an unhinged and quite crazy hitman. On the other hand, I found Kang Tae Joo lacking in terms of charisma next to him. Hiq role was central to the plot but with very few dialogs, so I am not sure if it is the script or the actor who is the most at fault here. The other side characters were good overall, fitting well with the craziness and over-the-top actions sequences.
If the soundtrack did not stand out to me, I was impressed by the production value and I found the parodic undertone enjoyable. The fight scenes were good, the gory details were really bringing the film together, making the picture daunting but still beautiful in a way. The chasing scenes with cars or just characters running were well put together and successfully stressful.
I would recommend this to people that are looking for a thrilling action movie and do not mind gore. If too much blood is not your thing or if character likeability or relatability is important to you, do not watch this movie. I had personally a good time watching it and I am wondering if a second watch would help me appreciate some of the characters and plot elements better (such as the ending which left me an uncanny feeling regarding the movie's morale and meaning).

Watched this for Kim Seon-ho
This is John Wick but Korean.They kinda miss the opportunity to make the 💀 more interesting. I only liked the character of Kim Seon-Ho. The rest is a copy of movies like Fast and furious and John Wick but this movie is funny.
I liked the cursing of Kim Seon-Ho
