The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos

The film's plot is about a policeman putting together a team of imprisoned criminals who were once good at their job to catch bad guys, in return for decreased jail time.

The storyline is simplistic and quite predictable and the movie starts out slow when introducing the characters and their backstories. The characters at some point can be annoying especially the lady No-soon. The action and fight sequences are fantastic, and fun to watch but they're very far-fetched especially toward the climax where they take on at least a hundred henchmen. The villains are clichèd but are terrifying and threatening enough so that does the job. The cinematography is good; it captures the intensity and struggle of the fight scenes well with some close up and long shots. The soundtrack and effects are satisfactory. And the performances are all good.

All in all, there's nothing refreshing about Bad guys, but if you're in for entertainment, you're surely be entertained. 6/10.

I started watching this Korean movie for the presence of the always great actor Dong-seok Ma, a big dude version of Arnie. He is always fun to watch, but this movie unfortunately has a lot of flaws...

The bad: the action is the main point of my criticism. It has got way too much talk and way too little action. Half an hour could have easily been cut OUT of this story. And the few figthing scenes that we do get to see are average at best, which is kinda disappointing. There really is only 1 truck disaster scene which was impressive.

More bad: the characters arent true to life. Of course one shouldnt take these movies seriously but SOME kind of credibility would enhance the joy of watching it.

Lacking severely in thrill or suspense. A few jokes are okay. But the biggest fault with this movie is way too much boring talk and way too little original riveting action.

Really wanted to like this as it has some of my favorite players in it, was just done poorly some of you might like it but not me, terrible acting and writing

Lazy evening, good pop corn, this is the right movie to add to the mix.

It has a good balance of deadpan comedy and over the top action, it has the usual Korean production values and a great roster of well known faces delivering manichean characters, no risks of brain clusters but a definitive zygomatic exercise.

To sum it up, if you've done your monthly duty of high brow movie going, treat yourself to this couple hours of pure entertainment.

This Movie is for only Action Comedy genre watchers... If you like Ma Dong Seok , you should definitely watch this..
