The Korean John Wick or a variation on The Man from Nowhere. Korea's summer season is on fire and this is another great entry into the action genre. Story-wise, it's an action classic that just won't get old. A retired hitman gets the nod to take care of a young teenage girl, but when he gets involved with the wrong people he has to not only save her, but kill a bunch of bad guys too. We're used to more convoluted and original stories in Korea, but when there are top visuals and great action, there's not much to complain about, unless you're an intellectual brat and universally hated nitpick. Jang Hyuk is a new rising Korean star who has already impressed me in the blockbuster The Swordsman and here he proves once again that he has what it takes to be a solid action hero. He doesn't have the charisma of Lee Byung-hun, and it's not as good as Man from Nowhere – that one had stronger emotions and a more interesting story, but there's no point in comparing all the time. The main character does everything one cool expression and I liked that. They could have shown a flashback of his past, we don't learn much about him, but there's simply no time for that because 90 minutes is not enough and the action is waiting. I think there is plenty of action and it's filmed well. The R-rating is used enough, the head shots in particular are cool, and there’s plenty of them! There's some decent fisticuffs or knife fights – Korea is the best at that, so they are a joy to watch. The best part is the longer passage in the brothel, where the body-count is about 50, and of course the final duel with the mailn villain, a Korean Russian dyed blonde, a first class scumbag and arrogant bastard, a pity he didn't get more space, because he could have become iconic, but the fight was really great. Quick exchanges, great cinematography, there were even knives – everything was there to keep me satisfied. It lacks something for a full score, but I'm satisfied, I enjoyed it. I'll never grow out of this. I'm glad Korea is still making these realistic and manly stories, because I wasn't impressed by the second Witch or Carter.
