    Another Winning Effort From Kim Jee-Woon & Song Kang-Ho

    Aptly reflecting on themes of job frustration, identity, self-esteem, passion & transformation, Kim Jee-woon's sophomore feature is a heartfelt & hilarious delight that's powered by another smashing showcase from Song Kang-ho, and is one of the finest & funniest films about professional wrestling.
