Goldeun seulleombeo

After the initial explosions hard to follow the plot. Why did they cram this poor fellow? What's with Gang Ding Wons hair? Don't bother.

Another descent film starring the ever talented Gang Dong Won. The storyline and cinematography may be too simple and the plot is not unique, the way actor Gang Dong Won delivers his acting prowess on this film is way impressive. This film is released just a few months earlier than his Illang: The Wolf Brigade movie, you get to see his big character transition from an innocent deliveryman to a "Special Unit" soldier. That's Gang Dong Won. He can perform any role and can pull it anytime. While this film is not your average action film with less combat executions compared to his Kundo performance, this film never missed to entertain its viewers. As a Gang Dong Won hard fan, this movie is recommended if you want to rest from a super-action film.

I am partial to agree with a fellow reviewer whom stated that "Golden Slumber" (aka "Goldeun seulleombeo") is hard to follow.

When I sat down to watch the 2018 South Korean action thriller "Golden Slumber" I hadn't even heard about the movie, so I didn't know what I was getting into here. But the mere fact that this was a South Korean movie was sufficient enough to make me sit down to watch it.

I will say that "Golden Slumber" started out alright, but about halfway through it seemed like director Dong-seok No was struggling to make sense out of what writers Ui Seok Cho and Hae-jun Lee had done with the material from Kôtarô Isaka's novel. And the movie not only lost its momentum but it tripped over its own legs, got tangled up in itself and never really recovered. And the rest of the movie was just a serving of scrambled incoherency.

Always amazes me when a movie sets out to accomplish way too much and manages to only deliver a fragment of what it sets out to. And "Golden Slumber" is one such movie.

It should be said that the acting in "Golden Slumber" was good, and lead actor Dong-won Gang definitely carried the movie quite well with his performance.

If you enjoy action thrillers, then "Golden Slumber" is not really a movie that should be at the top of your to-watch-list. In fact, there are far better action thrillers readily available in the South Korean cinema.

I am rating "Golden Slumber" a very bland and mediocre five out of ten stars.

It is quite hard to remember about watching such a decent movie.

Please watch it with your friends and family.

It reveals how an innocent guy, became the victim of a case, but atlast he is able to make out from such and in this era it is too hard to find such friends like his music band mate. Kudos.

Once the movie kicked off, it had you by the seat of your pants. And with twists I honestly wasn't expecting. That's why I really enjoy Korean films - great storylines.
