Pyojeok

Packed with intense actions, good acting and convincing plot. While a lot of boring dramas and pretentious movies like parasite are overrated, this movie is solid and underrated.

It's an entertaining enough action movie for an evening with popcorn (or whatever your favorite snack is). Nothing really special or outstanding. The only thing that's really annoying is the overt feminism with two really unsympathetic female cops who behave totally off-putting.

Captivating from the very first second! This fast-paced action thriller offers very good action scenes and nail biting suspense.

There are maybe too many conveniences for one film, but bloody hell, this was entertaining! The film is very unpredictable and also very emotional at times. The acting was really good. Great editing too. The plot thickened every step of the way, adding more mystery as the film progressed. Seung-ryong Ryu is so good and likable as the anti-hero hero. Jin Goo was equally good as his brother.

'The Target' is right up there with the best Korea has to offer. This was sensational!

Crime / action movie from Korea. Although Korean cinema is famous for its horror / mystery / drama films, this film is one of the good examples of crime films. A doctor before he realizes it, will be alone between those who will kidnap his pregnant wife and an organized gang, the leader of which, creates "death scenarios" to get rich himself. So the doctor will have to choose a side at some point if he wants to see his wife again. As the script unfolds there are several twists and turns to the end, while the whole film has a lot of action and chase, reminiscent of good films of the genre from American cinema. Without being too complicated the script, the film is quite well structured overall, while it has some clichés like a lonely, chased person to put up with everyone to find justice. Quite a good effort, however, and is definitely recommended.

The Target (2014) is yet another cool action movie coming from South Korea.

As many other South Korean thrillers, the movie shows great sequences, super stunts, cool chases, bloody fist fights, fine acting and relentless fast paced action.

On the other hand, maybe is because i have seen a lot of cinema from South Korea, but i feel that the plot was a little bit predictable, so for me the twist was not that shocking. However, if you are looking for an above the average action flick this movie is just the right thing to watch.
