A waste of 90 minutes of my life

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Sae-ron Kim is not only precious, but also brilliant in her role, as is Bin Won as the ex-black operations soldier/pawnshop keeper. The film so effectively depicts the lengths criminals will go to for money it makes one shudder to think this actually does happen in real life. Filled with so much feeling and emotion, this action -packed thriller was a delight to watch - and what a beautiful ending!

The movie's plots were made unreasonable just to have a good emotional aspect. It's a waste of time. The only thing good about this movie is the acting.

The hero's development through the story to the end perfectly matched the title. It wasn't because he was mysterious, it was the fact he was the girl's neighbor. You don't see how much he cared for the girl until the finale. He was a stranger(technically due to him a the girls relationship in the beginning) that helped another. He was almost like the star from the movie"redemption" , a hero who fell off but crawled out of it. The villians weren't dumb, they were an actual threat to other people around them(the license plate scene and the ruffied girl).the bad guy were just really caught off guard. Which is understandable because They were dealing with someone They know nothing about and underestimated. They were even evil to the point that their brutal deaths gave the feel they deserved it. The use of "ants" was even new to me as well. This showed these weren't the usual drug traffickers you hear about. The fight scenes were used well. The first fight the hero had being the tip of the iceberg of what the final fight would finally be. The brutality matched the emotions and situations. From self defense, survival, and to pure rage. Unlike most fighting movies who has fights in every scene, this actually made the wait worth it.

For me there are a bunch of films that leave an impression later after soaking in the scenes and pondering on them for a while. Most of blockbuster films usually have one (or more) notes that comes off wrong and ruins the entire orchestra, leaving a bad taste and wishing I could just forget it forever. Some films have less spikes and are easier to watch without getting overtly jolted. Some really have a nice overall tune that I would probably go as far to say I would purchase the Blu-ray film to support the creators. Then there are some really well made films that fit the bill perfectly and even surprise when you least expect it. Yup you guessed this film is just great from beginning to end. The highlights are the realistic fighting scenes that use real world gravity, and the camera shots that are crystal clear. The film is raw and exposes real world problems like drugs, prostitution and child exploitation. Would be a 10/10 but in reality it's a 9.5/10 due to the extreme violence that our hero retorts to for immediate justice. Also, the hero persona more than likely caters to an Asian market while in the west it may seem different. Overall, this film needs to be played in theaters and needs some awards so that a wider audience may praise it and we may all be jolly in agreement.
