The Childe

When it comes to the gangster flick the "NEW WORLD" director excels in this genre and his latest offering is unique with its character development thats well crafted and the plot is delicately woven with suspenseful moments... Kim seon-ho carries the whole movie single handedly with his swag and mannerism and his evil smile is on top notch to watchout... While Kang tae remains suttle and his emotional quotient adds flavour to the flick... Inspite of two strong characters Kang woo Keeps us focused with his thuggish and cunning act... From a good action car chase,bloodshed stunts and impressive gun shots this a complete package of typical gangster flick highly recommended...

A thrilling, exciting and gripping master piece by Park Hoon-jung. He has already given the world known thriller such as 'The Witch' as a director and 'I saw the devil' as a writer and this time with 'The Childe' he certainly has grasped the audience.

With the star cast of Kim Seon-ho, Kang Tae-joo, Kim Kang-woo and Go Ara this film has a huge audience of admirer.

In the film we can see jaw dropping acting of Kim Seon-ho, who is famous for lead role in Hometown cha cha and Start-up. Who has earlier played the character of and all-rounder village guy and strenuous investor but here he has shown a different persona in a psychotic Nobleman role. Even his fans are amused by seeing his completely different personality.

All in all, the film is Good watch and has potential of obtaining some awards and recognition. Giving 9 star from side.

A hollywood style korean movie from director Park Hoon-jung, a black comedy one!

The strong element from this movie is the character, nobleman, he doesn't have a name, claiming himself as a PRO, sadistically kills people with a comedic side of him, joking, grinning, smirking, whistling

The plot is very easy to follow, if people not used to with director slow paced intro maybe will get bored, but it builds up really well in the second phase

The director try to tell a story about Kopino a person of mixed (Korean-Philippine) issue. How difficult it is to live when the Korean fathers leaving and stop contacting their children in the Philippine and no longer provide any support

Solid characters, a desperate one, double agent lady, a bad conglomerate, the comically hitman, witty dialog, chasing scene, blood, guns, lots of cars! You got everything in here, it's "professional"

Marco Han is a boxer in Phillipines and is involved in boxing betting to meet the ends. He has an ailing mother who is in dire need of surgery and Marco is struggling to earn the money. He is also a Kopino, born to a Korean father and Filipino mother. Without much options, he desperately searches for his father in order to ask him to pay for his mother's surgery. To his luck, his father reaches out to him and invites him to Korea. Everything happens so quickly, Marco fails to realize the dark motives behind flying him to Korea and nothing seems right. Luckily, Marco gets a friend, his last friend who pushes him to the extreme to realizing his fate.

To be honest, South Korean hardcore action dramas are always fun to watch. This one has a decent story but most importantly, it has a terrific character Gwigongja / Nobleman (Kim Seon-ho) who carries the entire film on his shoulders. Every scene he is on instantly becomes super fun. Initially the pace was slow and once Marco lands in Korea, the film simply takes off. Though the characters felt one dimensional, the final twist was dealt well. The total showdown in the end, remains worth the build up and though I wish, Marco had more action sequences than just trying to run for his life for most part of the film, those chase scenes still deliver.
