I first saw her in BOF. And after what she did there I didn't like her at all. And then many many many years later, I came across her on insta one random day and I was like ..wow ..she's gorgeous, I know her from somewhere, don't I?

Obviously I had some help recalling the where. And since then she became one of those celebs... Yeah I know, I know, this is a review section.. so coming back to No Mercy. This is a decent revenge action flick. The plot says it all. The story's as predictable as it gets. There's nothing new to explore. And maybe that's why the low rating. So I thought this would end up in my what-was-i-thinking-watching-this list of movies but it didn't. I liked it(what do you mean I'm just saying this coz I like her). It sticks to it theme and yeah there are a few loose ends but those can be excused for this particular genre. So if you just want to watch a pretty girl do some decent action and not think too much about the how's, the what's and the why's of movie logic then this one's for you.

P. S. Will I watch it again? Probably not(at least for a while).

Okay.. time to go review her other works. Hehehe.

This movie describes an important case that might happen in many countries to innocent young girls, especially if they have some mental or abnormal behavior, The law should be fair with victims and take a quick response to solve such cases of kidnapping, sexual slavery etc.

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.

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)
