Slow burn, but worth it for the twist and action.
The Subversion starts off slow and almost feels like a simple drama, but halfway through it flips into a dark, violent, action-packed thriller. Kim Da-mi is outstanding as Ja-yoon, shifting from innocent to terrifying in a way that makes the movie unforgettable. The action is sharp and brutal, though the pacing in the first half may test your patience. The ending sets up more than it concludes, but as a stylish, gripping origin story, it absolutely delivers.
