The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos

No pun intended - and I had no idea there was a TV show before they did the movie. I assume that the show is good too. It has my favorite Bud Spencer "clone" - Korean clone I reckon is also something one could say. And I really say it as endearing as I can - of course he is not an exact replica. He is his own man - he just reminds me of him, stature and all that.

Having said all that, the movie is way more than just him. And while the story is quite paper thin and very well known, it is character moments and action/comedy beats that will win you over. Some of them (containing both action and comedy) belong to the actor I have mentioned.

The ending will not really surprise you - well the "twist" they have reserved for you. By then you will have fallen in love with the .. well "Bad Guys" ... no pun intended and no second thoughts needed either!

I gave it 6 stars because Dong-seok Ma is always fun to watch, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. It's not a boring movie, there are some cool fight scenes, but the story is not very exciting and there's just something missing to make it special and interesting. I also didn't like the cliché "strong" female role they seem to have copied from Hollywood movies. It's so tedious to watch a woman beat up men and act like one of the boys in this try-hard pseudo-cool way.

You can watch it, but don't expect too much.

OKAY! This action is fresh, fun, funny there are even new characters, the plot and events are very interesting and exciting interspersed with the comedy of Eung Chol and Chul Joo, it quite entertains me. but I'm a bit sad that Bad Guys 3 doesn't feature Jung Moon even though I really miss him. but there is a new and quite cool young man named Yoo Sung, oh my God ... he is very sexy and very handsome. So, overall it was quite interesting and I really enjoyed watching it.

This movie is a blockbuster reunion of the Bad Guy task force from the TV series. The two newcomers fit in well and play their parts well, especially the young guy. He is young in age but his eyes show a generation of experience and maturity. He also has a psychotic look like the captain - you need that to be one of the dogs I guess. I love the pink glove for Ma. It shows the light side of his character. Glad Ma is in this movie because without him and the Cap, no one will want to watch this. The only remaining question left is - when will part 2 come out?????

Lazy evening, good pop corn, this is the right movie to add to the mix.

It has a good balance of deadpan comedy and over the top action, it has the usual Korean production values and a great roster of well known faces delivering manichean characters, no risks of brain clusters but a definitive zygomatic exercise.

To sum it up, if you've done your monthly duty of high brow movie going, treat yourself to this couple hours of pure entertainment.
