Exit (2019)

Most K-Movies I’ve watched seems pretty boring from the beginning til the end. But E.X.I.T is different from the any other. It may seem pretty boring in the start, but once it reaches the main plot, everything will be fun but also intense to watch, even though the genre of this movie is Action, this movie also brought slight comedy which makes it way more entertaining to watch.

I was curious the other day because many celebrities came to watch the movie and I thought I should also give it a watch.

YOONA and Jo Jung Suk’s acting was also spot on! ⭐️ I DON’T REGRET WATCHING THIS MOVIE AT ALL! Definitely a must watch!

This movie is so much fun

I stumbled upon this movie by accident on a plane; the lady sitting in front of me was watching it, and the on-screen action was so intriguing that I paused the movie I was currently watching and switched over to Exit. Best decision ever.

Exit is one of those rare movies that aims to be two things at once and actually pulls it off. The first act sets up a dysfunctional family comedy which dramatically transforms into a natural disaster action flick at the half hour mark. This plotline transition works fairly well, and even as the stakes are raised in the second and third acts, the script maintains the first act's humorous undertones, and lands many of its jokes, both subtle and overt. The adrenaline-pumping action sequences have many impressive building-climbing and sprinting stunts worthy of the Mission Impossible franchise. And the female lead is particularly badass.

Exit is hardly a perfect movie; there are a few too many melodramatic scenes of screaming and crying and some unresolved character/plot developments. But in the end, the action-packed cityscape set pieces, wry humor, and good old fashioned race-against-time story arc make this a genuinely enjoyable film. Exit is a great time; don't think too hard and just watch it.

As much as I love Yoona, I wasn’t sure this movie will be good, nor her role will be that of an eye candy, basically it might be a good movie, but hollow, if you know what I mean. Plus when I first read the synopsis, I thought it kinda dumb, what kind of gas can really destroy a whole city! But to my surprise, the movie proved itself to be an entertained watch, not at all unrealistic, funny, thrilling, yet emotional at times!

The plot: I mentioned how I thought the gas idea was stupid, however, it’s only affecting one zone of Korea, not like the zombie apocalypse, so kinda like a big fire, and therefore, the story feels grounded. What adds to the grounded feeling is the main character, his action is funny, but it’s not at all done as a joke or that he’s being silly. He’s scared to death, but he thinks for his family and therefore pulls stupid stuffs that make it funny xD and yoona’s character here is really different from all other characters she played. Maybe because it’s a movie, no one can mention or did mention how pretty she is. Instead her character speaks for itself: a capable, know what’s important, and good heart girl.

So if you are going in wondering if this is worth it, I can tell you it is. If you are going in doubting the two leads, don’t be. They managed to show two characters trying their best to survive while holding on to their humanity, what make them a good person! And while at time, they are pulling some silly stuffs, to them, it’s not silly, it’s life and death. You will be pining for these two to survive, and you appreciate the humanity they display even though in doing so, they are putting themselves at death door.

Totally recommended xD

Exit is a movie I never expected to like.
At first glance it feels like a rock climbing action thriller with hints of bioterrorism. And it was. But it was so much more than that. I laughed - A LOT - and felt for the characters. The plot is as simple as described in the synopsis. But it's so complete. It is what it is and it is done simply and effectively - ah the wonders of modern science. And you're not left wondering what the hell that gas is made of because you're so focused on the lead cast, willing them to survive. Even the conclusion of the film is so simple and satisfying. It's set up nicely, executed effectively and concluded with few plot holes. I loved it. There is no heroism, just human honesty, resourcefulness and the desire to survive or die trying.

It also seamlessly tied in the dated trope of large-scale-disaster with the perks and ingenuity of modern technology. With the use of drones operated by people of all ages to make it a community event, these people no longer became individuals, but a larger whole and by inclusion showed the propensity for human-kind to help each other survive despite not being intimately involved. It was an ingenious choice to include this and gave the story a breath of fresh air.

Im Yoona and Jo Jung Suk were so perfectly in sync and chemistry that I find it difficult to imagine any other two actors that have the sense and experience enough to fill these roles. Seeing her and Jung Suk perfectly bounce off each other without awkwardness or pretense, nothing felt forced, it felt largely natural which is a great compliment to the filming crew as well. Excellent.

Music - Loved it. It fit well though not super memorable despite the special choreography MV released with Yoona and Jung Suk.

Overall I would definitely re-watch Exit every now and then for the laugh out loud moments and it will probably stick in my mind as a highly enjoyable comedy action thriller that was done right.

N'aimer que l'escalade peut être très utile parfois !

Encore une fois, c’est la présence de l’acteur Cho Jung Seok qui a déterminé mon choix de ce film, car je l’avais beaucoup aimé dans « jealousy incarnate » en journaliste atrabilaire affligé d’un cancer du sein, ce qui l’oblige à se faire soigner en gynécologie… et je l’avais adoré dans « nokdu flower », en brute sans cervelle évoluant vers un meneur durant la révolte paysanne de 1887.
Et je n’ai pas été déçue, il est parfait dans le rôle de ce loser regardé d’un œil condescendant par sa famille, maladroit et introverti, que les évènements métamorphosent en héros ! Mais il reste constamment plus en anti-héros, très loin de l’archétype habituel du genre ! Le binôme formé avec Yoona fonctionne parfaitement : il l’admire mais de loin, elle a réussi tout ce qu’il a manqué et leur relation reste pavée de maladresses de sa part en particulier dans la dernière scène, hilarante ! Parce qu’on rigole tout le temps ! On passe sans arrêt du suspens le plus flippant à un éclat de rire (la salle riait beaucoup, ce qui a fait dire au réalisateur présent à la fin, qu’il était ravi de voir qu’en France on ne riait pas toujours aux mêmes endroits qu’en Corée mais qu’on riait quand même beaucoup ! ) Ce film est un régal par l’équilibre parfait entre le genre « film catastrophe » et la comédie de critique sociale (Ah ! la famille coréenne !!! )humoristique. Le film fait un travail très sérieux sans jamais se prendre au sérieux, on sort de la salle avec un grand sourire, et le public a longuement applaudi la fin de la séance puis le réalisateur !

Uau, esse filme é surreal!!

Este filme é excelente! recomendo muitíssimo, se você foi uma pessoa que curti ver filmes de escadas ou acha interessante, você deveria assistir esse aqui!

Eu adorei assistir esse filme, em vários momentos me peguei torcendo por eles para que tudo desse certo, ainda bem que eles praticavam escalada antes disso acontecer.

Confesso que fiquei com um pouco de medo do final do filme ser trágico depois que eles caíram da tirolesa que fizeram, a sorte deles foi muito grande de ter uma loma para jogá-los para a torre, eu fiquei tão feliz quando os vi subir a torre, foi maravilhoso.

E tivemos um final feliz para os nossos protagonistas que provavelmente vão se casar e ter 3 filhinhos. Fonte: my head kkkkkkkkk
