predictable, but still fun!
I think since they show at the VERY BEGINING (like first scene)... who the killer was, it was really obvious what was going to happen throughout the movie, but it was still fun to watch!! I read that this was a sequel after I watched it, but I couldn't even tell, so it's perfectly fine to watch as a standalone. It might put into context some things the characters say, but I don't really know since I didn't watch Veteran (the first movie), and not knowing didn't take away from my experience.
They do the action scenes very well, and it was cool to watch them, although sometimes it had me cringing in phantom pain,, I think that they reallyyyy hit the nail on the head for thriller (It's not scary at all, just creepy in case people think that might be a turn off), especially Jung Haein!! I loved his his acting in this sooo much, like the kind of acting that makes you wanna go back on their past work and watch all of it?? But I already watched all of his action dramas and movies so
I think when it comes to comedy, they didn't really harp on it that much throughout the movie, but it makes sense since it's a thriller. They still did a good job with sprinkling it in here and there despite the serious tone of the movie. I wouldn't suggest watching it if you're only here for the comedy though.
I think they also managed to play in social media without making it feel unrealistic or like an old person wrote the scenes, so that's even more kudos. When I'm watching shows, how they portray social media can make it soo hard for me to watch, but I had no problem with this movie!! I also loved the composition of the shots, the coloring, and how they made certain funny scenes feel creepy. Usually I side with the vigilante in shows/movies (i don't know why, I just do). But this movie made me route for the detectives, even from the (sort of) beginning.
But other than that, I think it's a good movie to watch when bored!! (that's what I did...) My rating honestly might be impaired cause I started watching this movie at like 10pm, and finished at 12am even though I woke up at 5:30am that day saurr idk... I really do think it's a good movie besides the predictability!!
They also tease a part 3, which I find exciting!! It was something I completely missed since I thought I checked for post credit scenes,, but it was 12am so... It had a slightly comedic aspect to it though, so I hope maybe the next movie will have more comedy to it, but I would understand if not.
