Mercy for None is Right
Episode 1 Impressions
I'm going to start this off by saying if you've liked any violent Korean revenge thrillers in the past two decades than Mercy for None will probably be your cup of tea.
The fight choreography is crisp and bloody with punchy SFX for each punch. Every hit connects with intensity and the camera moves around enough to keep fight scenes entertaining instead of disorienting.
The plot is not too bad either. It seems to be your typical run of the mill Korean revenge setup. Something happens that motivates an over powered character to want to exact revenge. It doesn't really bother me that much because I came for the action. The story is good enough to hold your attention, albeit a little confusing for the first 30 minutes.
The production design, cinematography are all top notch and I was surprised by the production values. Varied locations and slick cinematography help to make sure you eyes are never really board.
Mercy for None is great so far after one episode. The premiere did a good job hooking me and now I want to see what is going to happen next. If you're here for the action I don't think you will leave disappointed. As long as you can suspend your disbelief from time to time, but that is part of the fun!
