I had a ton of fun watching this gritty Korean thriller. The fight scenes are reminiscent of "Hardcore Henry", featuring some impressive first person action. The score is quite a banger, with a nice fusion of suspenseful electronic heartbeats and traditional Korean drums.
The only let-down of this movie was the somewhat overcomplicated plot that was told in a lot of flashbacks. There were also pacing issues, as well as a few action scenes that seemed gratuitous. I got the impression some fights were just added to keep the viewer going rather than arising organically from the plot.
Nonetheless, besides said minor issues with story and pacing, this is a fun ride that's well worth watching!
