      Enjoyable enough

      A nice little Korean comedy/action movie. Made on a low budget and with ten times the interest of the better known DESTRUCTION BABIES, for instance. It's nothing amazing but the humour is funny and the fight sequences are fairly good. The film has shades of KARATE KID in the plot, but it's set in a much more realistic world with painful violence in abundance. High school bullying plays a big part, as per usual in Korean cinema.
