A monster who eats his fathers

This movie is excellently executed and scripted. I am speechless how the story flows. It surprises me the whole time starting from having five fathers to a child becoming monster. Most surprising thing is these five people actually kidnapped him and raised him. The boy also called them father though he was different from them. To make sure, he becomes like them they asked the boy to killed a man quite forcefully. Later he finds out that man was actually his biological father. So, he killed all of them and finally became a true monster. This revelation makes this movie quite interesting and thrilling. It was beyond my expectation. What surprises me the most is he was only 15 years old then and did a outstanding job. The actions scenes are too good for a 15 years old boy. Overall it's a worth watching movie.

whow

After watching a dusin of s korean movies the last year, i become more familiar to the faces of the different actor pools, that is a upperhand advantage as long as the spoken language are understandable, but wher the subtitling has become better for every month passing.

this is an ingenious flick made on the topic of gangsterism, political corrruption, money and greed, and a large numbber of fobic and pathic issues that i lost count of, but its all put together into a excellently told story.

if you cannot stand the sight of blood and cruel assassination like killings where there are no rermorse or any kind of norms a moral emotionally and personally, than skip it or at least watch till you cant take it anymore.

actors, filmography, settings, propping, editing and directing, along with hispeed car handling,and darn reallike special effects make this a well hung study of action movie entertainment. the only glitch is the is a open car hood after a long airy jump that are eventually closed in the next take as the chase continous.

the end part is at a sadistic level of revenge, and must be seen rather than read here. gutsickening it maight feel, exhausted youll feel anyway. a big recommend from the grumpy old man

Involving but confusing

More violent than average this is a unusual story with an initially involving premise. A kidnapped boy raised by mentally off gangsters. There is some confusion most viewers will feel. It would have been better if the story was explained from the beginning. But there is an emotional element about the boy and who he is trying to protect. Better if the plot had been kept simpler. The shootout is quite clever getting 2 birds with one stone. But it would have been nice if he could have saved someone. Yeo Jin Goo acts well - he is better than the story deserves. In such a movie a feel good ending would have been better.
