Project Wolf Hunting

Plans unravel to transport brutal convicts by air, so they are transferred via ship instead. The police and crew have their hands full as multiple plots to seize control of the freighter are hatched. Just when one faction seems to gain control, another gets the edge. Unfortunately for police, crew, and passengers alike, there is even worse cargo in the hold.

Irreverent and extremely violent, Project Wolf Hunting is a thrilling genre bender that combines action, horror, and science fiction. There are twists to the turns. Darkly comic and creative scenes predominate as when one poor soul is beaten to death with his own arm. Women often get the upper hand, or arm, as the case may be. The director and much of his crew were present for this Toronto International Film Festival midnight madness screening and world premiere. Kim Hongsun, the director, said that literally tons of blood was used to make the film. It is as fun as it is bloody.

Project Wolf Hunting, originally known as Neugdaesanyang, is one of the most brutal movies I have ever watched in my life. This South Korean film of two hours and two minutes is best described as gory action thriller. The story revolves around a group of dangerous criminals of South Korean origin who are extradited from the Philippines to South Korea on a cargo ship.

This film convinces on numerous levels. First of all, the isolated location of a cargo ship gives this movie a claustrophobic, filthy and tense atmosphere. Up next, this movie impresses with vivid pace that is gradually getting more intense towards the finale. The flashbacks going all the way back to the horrors of the Second World War offer some great background information and introduce viewers to a different location.

On the negative side, the brutal scenes in this film are heavily exaggerated. Two and a half tons of blood were used to portray roughly two dozen injured or murdered characters. This fact alone should give you a very good idea of how relentless this movie is. The story is paper-thin as the creators of this movie have just been looking for a weak excuse to justify the violent bloodshed. Whenever a character starts to develop something resembling depth and sympathy, then it isn't long before her or his untimely demise.

At the end of the day, Project Wolf Hunting is an entertaining movie for viewers who appreciate particularly brutal action flicks without any compromises. Switch your brain off and go on this violent fun ride for two vibrant hours. Anyone who expects memorable characters or interesting plot twists should however ignore this film entirely.

This movie brings blood and gore to a new level, and not for the fainted heart. First 5 minutes into the movie, the audience is presented with an explosion and flowing blood. It is going good as the story begin establish itself. A quarter way into the movie when actions start with blood spewing all over the place, the movie falters as the characters reactions are unrealistic and unbelievable!

The characters stand around like puppets as if waiting for their ques to react - to fight back or to die, according to the movie script, instead of reacting accordingly to survive. What could have been a great action movie drowned in 2.5 tonnes of messy fake blood.

Firstly, nowadays, the era of fake political correctness, it is difficult to find decent extremely gory violent movies. Probably because some damb people says that are disgusting. So, that is why I love it. I can differeciate between real life and fiction.

Second, I think this movie its quite decent. It has ultra violence, great FX and gory deaths. The result is like mixing Terminator with The Raid's violence, and the result is a Korean Predator hunting damb people in a boat. Is this movie original? No it is not. Is it a good movie? Neither. This movie is just for fun. Do not rake seriously and you'll enjoy. I recommend it, only for gory, ultra violence fans like me. So, if you expect here an Oscar winning script you're lost in life.

This has to be one of the bloodiest Asian movies that I have seen in recent times. If you're not a fan of R-Rated movies, definitely not recommended for you. But a must watch for R-Rated fans.

The concept isn't unique and feels like a blend of different movies came together. The narration isn't tight as well, but the violence/survival theme keeps you glued for most part. But even with all that blood, the action kind of gets boring in the end, as the action choreography/camera captures doesn't offer anything new.

As an action/sci-fi/horror fan, I did like the movie, but it does feel a little overwhelming on the gore/violence/blood.

PS:There are a couple of twists in the end which sets up a nice base for part 2.
