Featured review
Love the camera work, the 1st 10mins really sell the movie for me to hookup.
Like other commenter say, the downside of the movie is the final fight.
It's good but when they go full violence & stiff fight that's not good, I prefer if viewers that watch any wrestling movies know it's not fake but scripted but having 2 guys fight it for real is bad.
Anyway quite impressive because all the wrestlers are actually actors that's quite known in Korea, also the final boss is such a hunk back then I can't believe he actually have superb body thought he's just fat lazy villain these days😅 Solid 7/10, lacking storyline..what's the point of his other co worker with bank.
Can scrap that & just show the interaction with really terrible boss & viewers can relate & enjoy the movie more.
If they scrap that timewasting storyline & make the final fight be good vs evil in a really safe wrestling way this movie can easily be 9-10/10.
