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.
