The Childe (2023)
9/10
Super entertaining & action-packed!
23 August 2023
The Childe tells the story of Marco(Kang Tae-Ju), a man who is half-Korean & half-Filipino. He's also an up & coming boxer. Marco travels to Seoul to find his father & is targeted by some very dangerous people.

The Childe is an awe-inspiring film. Director Park Hoon-jung has given us a movie that's a cackle-worthy dark comedy, that also has some superbly executed chase & action sequences. The action set pieces are mind-blowing. Kudos to the stunt team, for giving us in-your-face & edge of the seat fights. The constant twists & turns makes sure we have no idea what's coming next. The performances are top-notch. Kim Seon-Ho is spectacular as the Nobleman. Kang Tae-Ju is outstanding as Marco. Kang-woo Kim is brilliant as Director Han. Go Ara is fantastic as Yun-ju. The Childe is a must watch & it's almost on par with other recent acclaimed Korean movies like Parasite(2019) & Minari(2020). Watch it on the big screen & have a whale of a time!
