Flu is Korea's answer to Outbreak and Contagion, an emotionally manipulative but highly intense and entertaining thriller. It falls down due to some lame cliches, but the incredible pace and tense music keep you glued to your seat. If you enjoy the high stakes of virus movies combined with uncontrolled chaos and mayhem, Flu is for you.
Flu while being very cliché from the plot to the characters motivation is still an entertaining outbreak movie with strong acting and thrilling action scene so if you like the first haft of 28 Days Later... and wish the whole movie like that Flu is the movie for you.The little girl is very annoying but she a big part of the story so you just have to roll with it.
While watching this one thing keep passing my mind Covid-19. This is the movie which I really can related right now. Even it is true to some extend like speading so rapidly.
It is a must watch movie during Quarantine.

Oh, wow, this was awesome! The Korean answer to 'Outbreak', but so much better without being melodramatic or predictable. The film so well depicts the ignorance of politicians and humanity's incapability of uniting and remaining calm during disasters. This was realistic, shocking and disturbing, and gets increasingly more intense as the film progresses. I did find the convenience element a bit overwhelming, especially with Hyuk Jang and Soo Ae's characters always ending up together despite the circumstances. Still, this was a really good disaster film, and so very possible.
Well, there is no better timing to watch this movie. With coronavirus turning into a pandemic, this movie showed what could have happen if it was a much severe virus. Sometimes, movie is a reflection of reality. Lockdown, panic, violence, anger, sacrifice, humanity, all covered in the movie. Humanity is so fragile, right?
