No pun intended - and of course this is not Bud Spencer. This is Don Lee and he is his own man! The Bud Spencer vibes I got from other movies he did is not as in your face in this one as they were there. Still I am only comparing those two great people with good intentions! But I also want to make clear that Don Lee is at a point in his career where I should not have to do that.

And speaking of unfair or rather bad comparisons: I read that this is (South) Koreas answer to Taken with Liam Neeson ... let me tell you something: no it isn't! While there may be some small things that can be compared directly ... the movie right here is quite different. This is violent, but this also takes its time.

And if you are an avid South Korean movie watcher, you may recognize more than just Don Lee here ... his side kick for example! He played a completely different role in The Outlaws and the sequel that spawned. Really well made, with spikes of action and a villain that more than deserves that name ... what a psycho that is ... one that is also quite charismatic ...

I truly wanted to give this an 8 for The Man Don Li but I felt he overplayed the pushover part of his personality which wouldn't have been bad if he would have done the same with his rage when he was pushed to the point of the Wrecking machine. The Villain was a bit over the top for an issue like human trafficking and more suitable for a Drug/Gambling/Extortion type. He's pure sociopath but cares way too much about money to fit the bill. Yet this was incredibly entertaining and not overly drawn out so for Action/Suspense that if I love maxes out at 8 I gave this a seven.

I really enjoyed this movie. The story is not something we have never seen before, in fact its pretty similar to Liam Neeson's Taken. But the difference is that this one incorporates a lot of humor in this special way that South Koreans are famous for. You have the badass, the feisty wife, the dorky sidekicks, the over the top evil villain. It was entertaining from beginning to end and I had quite a few very good laughs.
