A simple action packed revenge thriller
If you are familiar with Old Boy, Taken (Liam Neasen), heck Top Gun Maverick, and many others you will be familiar with the quiet unassuming, middle aged man. Barely holding on to his masculinity and self esteem. Who re-emerges to show the young, the rich, the powerful that he' s still got it.
This is a well-produced, tightly written great example of the genre. The hours fly by. Sure is it a bit repetitive? Plot thin? Reality suspended? But it more than makes up for it with some of the best K drama action scenes ever, with a welcome amount of live action instead of CGI.
It does has it fair share of torture/sadism scenes in it - just as fair warning. But, it's not unremittingly grim and dark, there's a lot of fun, humour and action along the way.
