    Sensational!

    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!

    'The Target s ' an enjoyable flick...until the end

    If you are a fan of action thriller movies , then you will most likely enjoy this one.The film benefits from a hard, gritty edge, with lots of brutal violence, fist fights, shoot outs, stabbings all of which pack a considerable punch thanks to some excellent choreography and stunts.

    Due to the action overload, there's sadly not room for much else, and the film doesn't do quite so well in other areas.The plotting might be somewhat silly, and pretty much falls apart as soon as you think about it, but it knows how to keep you involved. Despite its flaws,"the target" is still sufficiently engaging to entertain- especially since its pace is brisk and its actors easy on the eye.Its a solid and frequently thrilling cinema which should provide genre fans with sufficient entertainment and excitement..

    Decent action movie

    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.

    Đánh giá

    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.
