578 Magnum

Overall, the film is doing great job as an action film. The action is superb with 5 big action sequences, amazing sound and music. All the elements suport each other and when watching the film in the cinema, the feeling is great. Also the message and topic of the film is so meaningful, 578 is like a voice from the film-maker to against pedophilia and the film honors the sacrifice of the father - The father Hung in the film is willing to sacrifice everything to protect and take back the justice for his daughter. Great message after all.

This is an extraordinary action film in Vietnamese cinema. The reason I say that is because the film sometime looks like a Western movie. In a lot of scenes, I can see the artistic metaphorical details (like the dolls, the daughter's face in the ending scenes). But the film is also controvelsial as the editing the film-maker used here is "cross-editing" between the past and reality, therefore, so many audiences feels it's hard to understand the plot. Personally, I find it's quite interesting for that kind of editing.

However, I wish that the film could be better if the director (in some parts) could push the emotions even more.

I can feel the film crew is realy serious to make 578, well done.

Just watch the film on Netflix, didn't watch it in the cinema lol (because I didn't know about it).

The action, scenes are quite amazing compared to other action films I've watched before. The story is simple (I wish it could be more mysterious thing to solve in the next chapter). The editting is extrordinary, I guess. Never seen that editting in any other Vietnamese before, it's quite interesting but some scenes make me so confused because I don't know that is reality or flashback.

Anyway, I recommend for you to watchthis film on your weekend if you want to watch something simple but still attractive, or you want to relax a bit.

This movie is interesting because there are so many arguments and discussion about it. Some people like it, and some people disagree with it. But when watching it, you may have your own opinion. I am not going to spoil it but leave you the choice to feel it in your own way.

At the end of the story, family love, father-daughter's bond is so strong and powerful to get over everything. I have to send my admiration for every beautiful frame of the movie and music. They are super good. This film is tough also, cause it brings out a sensitive topic about children by using an interesting storytelling method. Thumbs up to the crew and their hard work. I enjoy watching it!

The story seems to be simple but actually has many layers of meaning. In the first 20 minutes, you might not understand immediately what is going on and have to take guesses. And as the movie goes on, everything will be unfolded gradually. It made me impatient sometimes but I found it to be quite an interesting way of telling the story. Because it's quite boring for me if the story is too easy and predictable.

Other than that, the movie is massive compared to other Vietnamese movies so far. Not many VN filmmakers has the gut to do a movie in such a big scale like this. It also has a lot of action sequences and all of them are really impressive and unique. Respect to the director and the whole team.

I just watched it The action is great but the plot has not made me very satisfied. Characters are luxurious, genuine, smooth, with investment in images, sounds and colors. However, the part that makes me unhappy is about the plot of the movie when it lacks connection especially the character of Ms. Hen when she appears too few and faint

7/10 for the hard work of the crew.
