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!

Hit men, an ex-special forces operative, tough cops, a mentally-challenged kidnapper, a doctor and his pregnant wife...

Well, it certainly sounds frenetic, and in a whirlwind of violence, that's exactly what was intended in this action-thriller, but in order for it all to work, we have to care a little about the characters and that, unfortunately, is where the film started to fall flat. Throw in a few dumb moments to spoil the intensity that's built up and The Target really misses its mark.

A remake of a French film I've not seen, I can't compare the two to say which is better, nor could I genuinely recommend this to fans of Korean cinema or action, because there are so many better titles out there more worthy of your time... though, that doesn't mean that you need to change the channel should it ever be on TV.

Compare with another Korean action film, I think this film is better than older. The thing give me the most attention is the main actor emotion and his acting. But I think, the director did not want to put all their attention on the main character but rather focus to doctor. So the main actor doesn't have many scenes. The best scene of main actor as I remember is when he take infor from gang and when he came from outside police station (Really I've looking for more action scene this time, but it was not.

Any way I'm looking for more and more tried from Korean action movie like this or better.

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.
