The South Korean version of The Transporter. Too sterile and ordinary for my taste, an action thriller, which adheres to the parameters of South Korea: good visuals, decent actors, R-rated action, though not much of it, there is something bigger at the end, but even that seemed not enough compared to other films. The film focuses on a likeable courier who is transporting unusual goods and is now tasked with picking up a client who wants to run away, but instead him, his young son is waiting there with the code to a 30 million dollar account, and as you would expect everybody will go after him. The storyline is a bit too simple even for Korea, I found the little kid quite annoying and the film comes across more as a family drama wrapped between car chases and with a bit of action. Unfortunately I wasn't too keen on that, but I suspected it so I'm not too disappointed. The girls will probably enjoy it, I'm off to get something more manly. Story 3/5. Action 3/5, Humor 2/5, Violence 2/5, Fun 3/5 Music 3/5, Visuals 4/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Suspense 3/5, Emotion 2/5, Actors 3/5. 6/10. (12/07/2022)
