2 hours is not enough!

A hollywood style korean movie from director Park Hoon-jung, a black comedy one!

The strong element from this movie is the character, nobleman, he doesn't have a name, claiming himself as a PRO, sadistically kills people with a comedic side of him, joking, grinning, smirking, whistling

The plot is very easy to follow, if people not used to with director slow paced intro maybe will get bored, but it builds up really well in the second phase

The director try to tell a story about Kopino a person of mixed (Korean-Philippine) issue. How difficult it is to live when the Korean fathers leaving and stop contacting their children in the Philippine and no longer provide any support

Solid characters, a desperate one, double agent lady, a bad conglomerate, the comically hitman, witty dialog, chasing scene, blood, guns, lots of cars! You got everything in here, it's "professional"

A SOLID NINE

Can't believe my luck that I won tickets to a sneak preview of this movie and to be honest I like Kim seon ho as well so I was quite excited about it. But I went into the cinema not expecting anything, because I thought I had a good prediction of the storyline given the vibes of the trailer, probably some triad feud and some chaser and targets with money involved, but then I was not expecting the ending to have a twist like that!!!! And also I didn't know this was supposed to be a dark comedy? It was so hilarious at some parts, the entire cinema was roaring with laughter. I tot all the cast members did really well with the acting. It didn't feel draggy nor rushed to me as well. I saw one of the reviews mentioned the first part was redundant, but I tot overall it provided a very good build up to the climax at the end. Really really enjoyed the movie. Heard a lot of good reviews from the people around me while walking out of the cinema as well. Highly recommend ??

Best Plot Twist

Epic comeback seon ho, the film it's really good.

The cast very profesional. The best action film in 2023 for me hahahahahahah.

By the way i can not guess the plot from begun, and i really apreciate for the hard work.

I can feel seonho's emotion in this film, very clear and natural. And also i feel tired cause it seem like i joined running in the scene hahahahahhaa

And i think the film can reach a lot of audience.

I hope "the childe" will be succes.

Good job for Director, producer, team and all of cast.

I will wait for the next project, it will be nice if kim seon ho join the project haha.
