The Bad Guys

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.

Really wanted to like this as it has some of my favorite players in it, was just done poorly some of you might like it but not me, terrible acting and writing

Actually this movie has interesting plot and premise but it is not well written and executed by the actors. The most annoying part it the music, it is so boring and not well arranged. Looks like they just pick some random music, so it doesn't bring the action to the mood. Very poor music.

I honestly love the three main actors, Ma Dong Seok, Kim Ah Jeong and Jang Ki Yong. They usually act so well. So, maybe the problem is really on the writer and director. They should work more on this project.

Okay, that's all i want to say. But i still have required characters in order to submit this review. Okay done.

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!

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?????
