Yes! I was waiting so long for a movie like this from the Korean ground!
This movie sucked me in after one solid minute and liked it to the last. It made me think of movies from Donny Yen and Iko Uwais. There are too few of them and Bruce Khan delivered it for Korea.

The story: Allright, this was the only thing that was kind off lacking. We all know this setting too well (for me it works) but something else would have been nice. Also I had trouble liking the child-actress, her acting was good but the character dislikeable. One moment she appeared younger, than older, she was messy and than clean etc.
I do think that this movie could be +1 hour longer with a good story from their flashbacks, it would made this movie a whole bunch better.
But, I loved the way they directed this movie. I can see the efford they put in, trying to make one scene cuts and filming from different perspectives it gave me 100% flashbacks from the movie form Uko Uwais: Raid 1 & 2.

The acting/cast: Well I'm going to fill this part in only about Bruce Khan. He did an splendid job, having only 5 lines throughout the movie, he still managed to be understandable. Do not forget, this Bruce is 50 years old and managed to nail every form of differend forms martial arts, judo, boxing, sword fighting etc. I think that is honorable and amazing! I 100% believe that we are going to see him much more on screen, he deserves it.

The music was fitting and I would 100% rewatch this movie, solely because I love these kinds of movies.

Watch this: If you like mixed martial arts movies and if you are okay with not such an indepth storyline.
Skip this: if you can't handle blood, there is alot.

Revenge story that has nothing much to it

Story-wise, aside from what was already stated on the plot summary, there's nothing much more to it. We learned some of the characters' pasts and why they want revenge but there's no additional details. They also tried to relate how the characters are connected however it still lacks context for me to invest on the story emotionally. I felt like they tried to supplement the bland story with the action scenes which I can say was done outstadningly. It was a high quality action for me.

Given the roles they have, the cast portrayed their characters effectively and I've seen most of them on other movies or show as well. Unfortunately, no matter how good actors/actresses they are, I really felt that the story didn't give much justice to this film. I didn't feel that 'fire' to root for the character's motivation to kill because all I know is that the bad guy did something terrible and that's how the revenge started. I was looking more of a back story before all the chaos started. I wanted to see the characters living happily and then the villain entered and ruined everything that way I could feel the real emotions. This film however just show all the chaos part where someone is killed so now someone wants revenge for that person's death.

I did enjoy watching it like the curiousity of how things will unfold and of course the action scenes, it's just that this movie felt short on capturing my emotion as a viewer. I still recommend it though and you might actually like it more than I did.
