Hilarious Action Comedy
I saw a short on YouTube and checked this movie out. I expected a B movie given the title sounds a bit cartoonish, it's the third in a series, and it's from 2006 but was delighted with a A- production.
Lot's of on point humor with unexpected twists. There's a running joke with translation mishaps. The protagonist is Chinese hiding in Korea. The gangsters she is placed with obtain an innocent bilingual to translate. The translator quickly realizes she's in deep Kimchee and fearfully mistranslates the protagonist's threats into friendly comments. Later as the translator gains confidence she abuses her control. These mistranslations steal the show.
One production misstep towards the end. A close-up of a corpse from two different angles no less shows him breathing deeply and obviously. Otherwise the whole is very entertaining.
