No Mercy

A great movie with a poor rating.Thank you, Korea.

If in Taken, they took his daughter, and in John Wick, they killed his dog, it was definitely a bad idea to mess with her sister.

I agree that it has some holes in the story line, but that doesn't make it a bad movie. The actors and actresses delivered a wonderful performance and the plot is MIND. BLOWING. Like, I wasn't sure if the movie was good or bad for me because it was messing with my brain and my emotions.

Either way, they're definitely impacting the audience, so good job!

There's always room in the action genre for more "one-man army" thrillers, but this has typically been a male-dominated space. It's therefore always great to see women getting in on the action. Lee Si-young (In Ae) is also no stranger to heavy-hitting, having a rather successful background in amateur boxing. This probably makes her fight choreography all that more believable.

No Mercy falters only in two instances, the first being the convoluted story-telling and secondly, by subjecting the younger sister to one too many ordeals in such a short space of time, hence losing its emotional weight somewhat. But those gripes aside, the action scenes are well coordinated and the revenge aspect is quite satisfying. It's the type of movie that caters to our natural instinct of (justifiably) punching numerous henchmen in the face.

No Mercy is one of the better action thrillers I have seen of late, with a strong female-led cast.

After watching Sweet Home on Netflix I was really intrigued with this actress so looked into other stuff she was in that might interest me and this film fit the bill!

You have to remember youre watching an action revenge flick.. nothing more nothing less..

for what it is i really enjoyed it... it does get a little silly with what happens to her sister but without giving away spoilers thats all i'll say.

If you like revenge films you wont be dissapointed.. just make sure you leave your brain at the door and your suspension of disbeleif is at level 1000.... (more for the sister rather than the actual heroine.. who is very beleivably badass)

The action is quite something by the female boxing champ. Convincing. The faults are glaring - a lack of continuity in the story telling. Also the jumping around in time breaks up the tension - should have been chronological. Why the sister got into so much trouble is a bit too much. Harder to stomach than the over the top fight sequences.

Not quite worth watching.
