Missão Improvável

RATED 7/10 Lagnauge: Korean

Funny action drama with predictable story line... no dull moments and its definitely one time watch...

One of the things I like about this movie is the comedy doesn't interfere with the action. It's not slap-stick humor either. Also, a few of the action scenes are bloody, whether it's knife-play or gun-play. I'm surprised South Korea produced such a movie in the action-comedy genre, but it's a welcome surprise. Just as typical action-comedy films from South Korea, the two leads are bad-asses. But, it gets hinted at from the very beginning, so it's not like it's thrown into the audiences face unrealistically, half-way or even toward the end, like Extreme Job did.

This is a well balanced action movie, with humor, great acting, and highly interesting/ well choreographed fighting scenes.

The story line has some fun twists and turns, a few surprises, and plenty of chuckles.

Kim Young-Kwang is perfect for this role! His facial expressions alone could carry his acting...full of a myriad of circumstances. T. Cruise could learn a lot from him. His best role yet!

Lee Sun-bin carries her own action with beauty and finesse. The secondary characters just add to the story in the way they are supposed to, supportive but not overbearing.

One of my favorite films!

Mission Possible is Mission Dope!!!!!!!! I started the movie without any expectations at all but seriously, this one surprised me as hell. It's funny and got some decent actions, as simple as it sounds but as a combo of those... man, I just loved it.

This bit of fluff starts off seeming irredeemably silly, with a mistaken-identity pairing for a confusing spy mission. One might be tempted (as I was) to look elsewhere within the first 30, or so, minutes. That first impression of a poor Jackie Chan action comedy wannabe lingers for a while, but, as counselors might say to troubled teens, it gets better.

About halfway in, the inane plot and odd pair of protagonists start to make more sense. Even better, some really good fight choreography and stunt work join the proceedings, greatly reducing the gap between this one and any of Jackie's templates. Overall, nothing memorable, but still an amusing diversion that finishes much stronger than its shaky start portends.
