This South Korean remake of -À bout portant- feels a bit redundant to me, to say the least. If you've seen the French original, you'll immediately understand why. Chang tries to put his own spin on the original with an abundance of blood and some stylistic changes, but it doesn't make much of an impression. It all comes at the expense of the story, which is much better in the original. If you think a remake is the end of it, you're mistaken. Ravi K. Chandran will immediately direct a Bollywood remake, which will begin production in 2015. I'm curious, but this South Korean production, in my opinion, offered no added value.

When Koreans put together a crime film, they usually don't do things halfway. It often results in a series of excessive violence. While there are undoubtedly fans who revel in that, it doesn't necessarily make the film any better. This essentially unnecessary remake of Cavayé's À Bout Portant (2010) is a case in point.

A charming actress like Yeo-jeong Jo (the pregnant woman) – recently present in the beautiful Gisaengchung [aka: Parasatie] (2019)– has no place in this kind of films in my opinion.

A decent action thriller. The story is simple. The execution is fairly standard. The film is fast-paced and never boring. Tension and action are smoothly interspersed. The film does get a bit repetitive at times, and the action scenes are skillfully shot, but otherwise, they're not memorable. The visuals are quite jarring, and some scenes are poorly shot. 3.0
