Hard Hit

It's an enjoyable movie. There is nothing wrong technically speaking...

Some things were kind of lazy; like how the police handled things and the rushed but weird editing and ending of the last 15 minutes of the film.

The acting is very great storywise not so much and you shouldn't expect a great bomb thriller story since I think this is a remake I've seen before years ago.

So what's wrong? At the end of the film certain editing choices doesn't make logical sense compared to the rest of this film. It feels like the director or the editor just wanted to finish the film due to a (personal) deadline or made a mistake during story boarding and not shooting scenes to connect it with the general flow and editing of the film.

As for the back story of the villain; uhmm...yeah? I guess where he is coming from but there doesn't seem to be any real justice and the film just made me feel I've been used as an old chewing gum.

Even though it is selling well/streaming well in South - Korea the general score it has gotten there by around 1 million viewers is around 5.3 as I write this, which in my opinion is an accurate representation if you look past the great acting, which is like a 9/10! If you are only interested cos you want to learn acting or just so you can talk about it cos all of your friends watched it; then sure watch this...otherwise? Mweh... Watch a different film if you can instead.

Definitely has some flaws. Everything is not perfect like the police's actions. However, the film is intense. From the first minute to the end, the movie is really fast pace. The 90 so minutes will pass super fast. There are a couple slow moments in the middle of the movie but this is to introduce the villain. Overall, great to watch.

This is the third version I watched ... and I heard there will be a Hollywood version as well. So there we go. I can't imagine it getting better than the spanish original. But I would say that the other versions do have certain things that work - not just locally. The police thing was better handled in the German version, the family and father interaction is a bit better in this Korean version.

But as you can imagine and as I already sort of stated, stick with the original movie if you can - and if you either speak spanish or do not have issues with subtitles. All in all this is decent, but I've seen better thrillers from Korea. Technically you cannot fault it at all - and the actors do their best too.

The movie felt like it would never end. It took me three weeks to finish the movie bc it was so boring. I finally dad forwarded to the last 15 min to see the end (didn't realize this was a remake of the Spanish movie else I would just have read the summary of that film). The movie's focus was on family being trapped in a car speed chasing through the city and not on the backstory of the plot. I would have liked this movie better if the majority of the film was on the flashbacks to tell the backstory instead.

Few big flaws. They dont know whats police procedures and processes. Lousily made. Not worth pay to watch at all. The conclusion is really nonsense after the multiple nonsenses. They should put more effort instead of producing such a low quality story movie.
