The Childe

Even when Park Hoon-jung doesn't create an excellent film with deep meaning and emotion, he still manages to entertain and bring something that we'll always remember.

Kim Seon-ho's character is fantastic. At first, we don't know what to expect, and we might even think he's just a side character, but he carries the entire film with his charisma, humor, and somewhat superhuman fight/gun skills. He also steals the show because Kang Tae-ju never manages to do something memorabel mostly due to the script he has in front of him for a character who should have been the main focus of this film, as everything revolves around him.

Apart from this significant issue, the film seems to prioritize the spectacle of its setpieces over any deep construction. I missed the artistic and emotional touch of Hoon-jung that we saw in "Night in Paradise" (probably my favorite of his), but even in terms of intrigue and complexity, it doesn't come close to what he achieved in "New World" or, I would even say, "V. I. P." (although I know that's not a consensus).

Nevertheless, there are excellent scenes that will stay in my memory, such as the executions of the informants or the entire impressive and over-the-top third act. I enjoyed the ending (yes, I'm a fan of plot twists, give me all of them!), the presence of some good feeling amidst it all, and that comical post-credits scene.

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"

This is a unique and exciting action film that keeps you interested and guessing throughout. The story centers around a Korean/Filipino heir to a dying Korean billionaire's fortune. He needs money to save his mother's life and this leads him down a path to reunite with his father that makes him the subject of multiple groups of people trying to kill, or kidnap him. The movie is violent and funny, in spots. The acting, filmmaking, and Direction are good. Some of the flighty choreography is a little grainy for my taste, but still good. There is a strange appeal to the characters, even though they do really bad things. This is another great Korean film. In Korean with English Subtitles.

A thrilling, exciting and gripping master piece by Park Hoon-jung. He has already given the world known thriller such as 'The Witch' as a director and 'I saw the devil' as a writer and this time with 'The Childe' he certainly has grasped the audience.

With the star cast of Kim Seon-ho, Kang Tae-joo, Kim Kang-woo and Go Ara this film has a huge audience of admirer.

In the film we can see jaw dropping acting of Kim Seon-ho, who is famous for lead role in Hometown cha cha and Start-up. Who has earlier played the character of and all-rounder village guy and strenuous investor but here he has shown a different persona in a psychotic Nobleman role. Even his fans are amused by seeing his completely different personality.

All in all, the film is Good watch and has potential of obtaining some awards and recognition. Giving 9 star from side.

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.
