Shark: The Beginning

Experienced a lot while going through it, not a typical review but actually a honest one though.

It's quiet unexpected that such Shonen movie can be thoroughly enraptured emotion of a bully victim and the bully himself. Somewhere or the other I felt the pain of Cha Woo Sol and it's journey of redemption.

Most important stuff which this one portrayed is that when one faces such extremities conditions forces one to turn into Shark. (If you didn't get this one then watch it out).

Have read other's review, it' ok. Not everyone has a same taste, that's it.

This is very good prison based movie. Acting of cast is top notch. A person who played negative role in 'midnight' thriller played as boxer/trainer in this movie. Inspirational movie and people who are interested in boxing must not miss this one.

School without teachers

Young offenders institution with no guards

30 year old plus actors pretending to be 18

Incredulous story

Slow boring pace

Nothing happens in the first 45 minutes. I couldn't endure anymore.

This movie is just an average action fighting film. No memorable fighting scene. Not enough character development especially for the mentor of the main character. I think he's there just for the sake of teaching the main character to fight. Character development for the main character was sloppy. He still the same as before except now he know to fight. There's no different in every fight. He still careless, get beat up and looks like he's going to die. Then, for some reason he suddenly have enough energy to fight back. I know the title is Shark : the beginning but they can make a better beginning. In term of production, just ok. So, the movie was good but nothing really special and memorable.

What an amazing action movie. The movie is not just a action flick, but builds a simple story, that kept me hooked till the end with its amazing writing and making.

The action choreographer of this movie deserves all the praise, because he understood his assignment correctly. The action scenes are not just there for its sake, but always blends with the story properly and always is part of resolving the conflict. Its very clear at each point the stakes involved in each action scene and it makes the scenes much more interesting and got me emotionally invested. Each character has its traits even in the action sequences, his strength, weaknesses and unique moves. The acting performances are amazing. Kim min seok gives a amazing performance, he portrays his character arc amazingly. All the other actors who performed in the movie did a great job. All the technical aspects, the camera, music, editing all was done nicely.
