A decent work for a debut with surprisingly good acting and very short running time, which is unusual for Korea, but I was still slightly bored for the first half. The big upside is definitely the brutality, which the film doesn't spare too much, and the original long fistfight is also a pleasure, it's just a pity that the action mainly appears only at the end, but on the bright side, the duel with the saw or the final showdown with the shotgun had a decent swing. It’s standard filmmaking for sure and the action looks good, but I can't go to 4 because of the weaker first half. 65%.
