Spiritwalker

It's more flying or hopping rather than "walking", although there is a lot of walking in the movie too (outside of driving and car chases that is). And then there is fighting, either with guns or hand to hand combat. But I got ahead of myself ... a lot.

If like me you have discovered Korean action and thriller cinema (either a long time ago or because Parasite gave you a reason too), I do not have to convince you. Actually the movie itself is more than able to convince you - with more than a tight plot and story, that has as many twists and turns as one can imagine. I would wish that the main character would be a bit more charismatic and I know you can fault the movie on certain details too, but not on how it is thought through (convenient timings and other stuff aside too).

Great action, amazing cinematography and a sound design that is as subtle as it is genius. Another winner - even if won't be another Oscar (winner)

Entertaining but far from being perfect. It was a bit confusing at the beginning, later on things got clear gradually, some events and scenes weren't convincing to me, more or less mannered, however I liked the action stuff, the continuous tension which was pleasant, overall, not bad.

The idea of concept is amazing and something you don't see it usually, including Action and Sci-Fi mixed very good with a lot of potential.

The man was killed, but his soul was here to take the revenge and save his wife.

Definitely doesn't deserve this rating 6.2, It's on general 7.5/10.

A solid action thriller about a man who wakes up after an accident to find out he's not the person he used to be. To make matters worse, it turns out he'll "transform" into someone else every 12 hours.

The sci-fi gimmick is mostly used for a Bourne-style recipe; for every bit of mystery that the protagonist manages to clarify we get a round of fistfights, chases or shootouts. I wish that the film did more with its concept but it still manages to entertain throughout its runtime. There's almost no need to highlight the film's cinematography as it is as polished as we've come to expect from Korean thrillers. The last action scene is obviously heavily inspired by John Wick, but that doesn't take away from its intensity and well-done choreography.

Recommended for fans of high-concept Korean thrillers; however, they might need to lower their expectations a bit since this isn't really a top-tier pick in the genre.

A solid Korean thriller that boasts some commendable action sequences; it seems to me that Korean cinema has moved on from being inspired by the BOURNE films to instead being inspired by the JOHN WICK franchise. And who can blame them? This one's a version of the perennial 'body jump' storyline, and it's as complex and fast-paced as befits that premise, so much so that there's never a dull second, just the plot moving inexorably onwards.
