Unstoppable

This movie is one action thrilling ride with twists and turns. The new director Kim Min-ho delivered outstanding piece of work. No over acting,neither drama. Each and every actor/actress role was amazing and easy on the eyes. Well done Kim Min Ho. 10 out of 9.

No pun intended - and of course this is not Bud Spencer. This is Don Lee and he is his own man! The Bud Spencer vibes I got from other movies he did is not as in your face in this one as they were there. Still I am only comparing those two great people with good intentions! But I also want to make clear that Don Lee is at a point in his career where I should not have to do that.

And speaking of unfair or rather bad comparisons: I read that this is (South) Koreas answer to Taken with Liam Neeson ... let me tell you something: no it isn't! While there may be some small things that can be compared directly ... the movie right here is quite different. This is violent, but this also takes its time.

And if you are an avid South Korean movie watcher, you may recognize more than just Don Lee here ... his side kick for example! He played a completely different role in The Outlaws and the sequel that spawned. Really well made, with spikes of action and a villain that more than deserves that name ... what a psycho that is ... one that is also quite charismatic ...

In his heydays in the 80's. its a film about king crab, human trafficing, kidnapping, and a vengeful vigilante, who from a job as a salesman on the fishmarket, takes on the hunt for the criminal syndicate that has merely by accident taken his wife.

remember this is a south korean flick, with its cultural differences and humble earthcrawling awe and respect for superiors which makes this a weird experience for western viewers, but its darn good on the action, fighting,speed and revenge factor. i do seldomly giggle over fighting scenes in an american flick(unless bud spencer and terrence hill) but the korean takes the winner badge, and this film is a good example.

the grumpy old man had a nice ride, and so will you too.recommended

I really enjoyed this movie. The story is not something we have never seen before, in fact its pretty similar to Liam Neeson's Taken. But the difference is that this one incorporates a lot of humor in this special way that South Koreans are famous for. You have the badass, the feisty wife, the dorky sidekicks, the over the top evil villain. It was entertaining from beginning to end and I had quite a few very good laughs.

This is a fine enough movie. Nothing in depth, as we see a reformed hard man failing to make life in the straight world dragged back in to rescue his now abducted wife from gangsters. As expected his marriage was strained and this breathes new life into it.

It has two main selling points as far as I'm concerned, good comedy & humour, and a very likeable lead actor & character. That's the full charm here, beyond that there isn't anything incredible here. Although the action when it comes is good & strong but you can stomach it well.

It's a fine fun movie, nothing special, but most who give it a chance will find it fun. The humour is very good, and translates well. Good show.
