Les Formidables - Anybody seen this Korean actioner?

Post by thelostdragon »

Looks cool, but that's the problem with so many Korean films. Stylistic, they look awesome. But do they deliver?

Seen half of it (gave up before the end). Didn't like it at all.
Way too much style, serious lack of substance, ridiculous acting, flashy cinematography.

Nothing good in it IMO (except maybe the music). :(

I'd recommend it to someone who liked stuff like Running Wild, City of Violence or Holiday, maybe.

I'm not too pleased with the new wave of korean action films...
I used to be "the man who loves the movies you hate".
Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".

Not all but many new Korean films look like Hollywood knock offs, admittedly they're good at it but one Hollywood trash machine is enough thank you.
