Absolutely nothing
Absolutely nothing! There was no script, no tention, nothing at all. There was a boring story and nothing could captivate my interest. Only the casting was worthy. I was struggling to stay focus and finish this movie. There was no suspens at all for a thriller/adventure film. It's also really really hard for me to write more than 500 characters in order to submit this review. (I really wonder, how many characters I still need for the submission? ). I think I am close now, to reach the minimum amount of characters, cross fingers.Was this review helpful to you?
Oh the suspense, I'd recommend
I really enjoyed this movie! I went in blindly without knowing much but it pleasantly surprised me. Just a warning, it starts off slow but not long after, it begins to pick up the pace (kinda like a slow buildup). The storyline was really simple but the execution was done so well. It was really suspenseful too which made it so much fun to watch with friends. The cast was perfect!! The acting was superb and their chemistry was off the roof. Just a tip, I feel like the movie was really dark (I don't mean the storyline but rather visually) so I'd recommend watching in the dark lmaoWas this review helpful to you?

I am extremely annoyed. Read second paragraph if you dont want the movie spoiled.
(skip to next pargraph for short summary without spoilers) SUMMARY WITH SPOILERS: To summarise this movie: annoying. There are so many scenes where the thinking of the leads isnt logical. How are CRIMINALS so afraid of a single guy as if he's a vengeful spirit that they cant easily get rid of lmao. It almost feels like the director got a criminal heist storyline from someone layed out in front of him on a table and just decided to scribble horror elements all over with a crayon... There were plenty of moments where Han could have been killed, but for some reason these three buddies decided to keep running and running. I havent even finished the movie. I was so bothered that i decided to share my annoyance before finishing this movie. The scene right before the 2 hour mark where one of the friends died was my last straw. He did not have to die if it wasnt for the main lead being an idiot. In that parking lot scene he couldve shot Han in his head, but he decided to be a pussy.. i mean the acting was amazing, but that wont make up for the amount of times ive been bothered by the horrible storyline and the horrible decisions that were made. And the chase that broke out when one of the friends left also has me annoyed. Han keeps popping out a cigarette whenever he feels like it and he starts smoking out in the open as if hes inviting them to shoot at him. BUT THEY DONT. THE ONLY MOMENTS THEY DECIDE TO SHOOT IS WHEN THEY ARE GETTING SHOT AT. The thrill during the first half of the movie was insane, but now im just left with frustration which ruins the whole movie. It honestly gets cringe. Suspenseful music starts playing when the main lead decides to confront Han after his friend got killed. It took the death of a friend for him to come to his senses. At this point he might aswell lay next to his dead friend and wait to get shot. I cant believe a movie managed to pull so much hatred out of me. Its also hella annoying how Han manages to dodge every bullet, but is also able to hit shots unlike others. By the way im updating this as im watching the movie. Im proud to announce Han finally got shot. In his shoulder... Make it more fatal cmon now. Ok so i finished the movie. Han gets shot multiple times, falls into the sea but doesn't die so main lead decides to chase after Han. His friend that went back to his parents is also supposedly dead and the end of the movie is main lead leaving Hawaii to go back after Han.SHORTLY SUMMARISED WITHOUT SPOILERS: Plotholes, stupid decisions that make the movie unbearable, not enough backstory, horror elements thrown into a money heist movie (done in a horrible way), the bad guy is portrayed as way too mighty and the only good thing about this movie was the acting. Its crazy how a newbie director managed to get hold of this cast, but please someone take away the writing from him cuz multitasking is not for him. The great acting sadly doesnt make up for the bad story. And the end is an open ending if anyone cares about knowing that.

A pretty decent crime thriller
I picked this movie up because Choi Woo Shik was in it. After Parasite going global and winning so many awards, Woo Shik is basically an actor to watch out for in my book.Time To Hunt is a pretty decent crime thriller. The visuals are striking and the cinematography is quite good. There's enough action and thrills to keep you interested and the gun fights are intense.
One of the best things about this film are the performances of the 3 main lead actors. They have good chemistry and you really feel like they're looking out for each other with a strong sense of brotherhood.
The premise and worldbuilding of the universe the characters are living in feels decently fleshed out. There's enough explanation to make you believe this dystopian Korea is real and that the characters are believable.
The only letdown of this film is the writing. The plot seems a bit nonsensical at times and you wish characters did things differently. There's a scene where a gunfight happens in a hospital around other people but the bystanders in the hospital don't react to the violence around them, which I thought was kind of nonsensical and shows how the writers didn't pay attention to the little details of the movie. Also, there are moments where you wish the main characters had common sense and did things differently. The main characters have guns and its them vs the villain but they mess up many times and lack the instinct and motiviation to outwit the bad guy.
Anyway, this a good movie to turn your brain off and enjoy the thrills if you don't mind the poor writing. I would've been more than happy to pay money and see this in theaters.

So many talented actors and a hot garbage storyline
No Back story, No character development, No world building, and yes smoking cigarettes together = cool bromance.The plot goes something like this:
3 people(best friends, trust each other a lot and 2 out of 3 have been in the army) armed with an M1, 2 Shotguns ,revolvers and pistols and wearing bulletproof vests, couldn't kill 1 guy trying to kill them for no FUCKING reason at all and also without protection. The End
HOT GARBAGE
further i have to complete 500 characters to put this review so ignore this :

Tenéis que verla si o si.
Es una película muy diferente a lo que estamos habituados y ademas el reparto es genial.
Todos los protagonistas han dado la talla y me han hecho sufrir mucho por ellos, han conseguido que me meta en la película por completo.
Vuelvo a repetir: no dudeis en verla.
El tiempo me ha pasado volando y cuando he terminado solo queria ver más y más.
Creo que va a ser una de las películas del año

Du très grand Lee Je-Hoon
Un très bon thriller, avec une intrigue classique, mais un super casting !Dans un monde où tout va mal, une bande de braqueurs débutants s'en prend à un casino illégal tenu par la mafia... qu'est ce qui pourrait aller mal ?
Un chasseur est à leurs trousses, et il ne fait pas dans la dentelle !
Le film est bien rythmé, on ne s'ennuie pas du tout. La musique accompagne bien les moments où il faut qu'on s'angoisse !
Lee Je-Hoon est excellent dans ce film, il peut être téméraire, apeuré, en mode berserk, ému...
Clairement il faut un 2e épisode !
